Earlier on Tuesday, Israel gave a deadline of four hours for residents staying north of Gaza City to get to southern areas of the Gaza Strip.
Gallant rejects ceasefire to provide aid to civilians.
– The hostages must be returned before there is a humanitarian pause, says Gallant according to Reuters.
On Monday, the health authorities in Gaza stated that over 10,000 civilians have been killed as a result of Israeli bombardment of Gaza in recent weeks.
Gallant also claims that Israel is not interested in war against Hezbollah.
In recent weeks, there has been shelling from both the Lebanese and Israeli sides.
However, Gallant states that around 70 Hezbollah fighters have been killed so far.
The Israeli defense minister repeats Israel’s message that civilians must get to the south of the Gaza Strip – for their safety.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warns Hezbollah on Tuesday evening Norwegian time.
– If Hezbollah chooses to join the war, it will be a big mistake, he says according to Reuters.
Netanyahu repeats Gallant’s statement that there will be no ceasefire without the release of hostages.
