70 people, mostly women and children, killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza’s fleeing convoys, Hamas says
Hamas' media office says the cars were struck in three places as they headed south from Gaza City. It was not immediately clear who the target of the airstrikes was, or whether militants were among the passengers.
The army ordered residents to evacuate the city early Friday ahead of an expected ground invasion.
