Israel continued its deadly airstrikes on Gaza as the death toll passed 1,500. Israel's military ordered 1.1 million Palestinians in northern Gaza to evacuate within 24 hours. Appealing for the order to be rescinded, a UN spokesperson said that such a movement could lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences” which could “transform what is already a tragedy into a calamitous situation”. Israel showed US and NATO images of dead civilians, blaming Hamas, as it tries to bolster international support. Meanwhile, Iran warned the conflict could spread if Israel's offensive continues.
