Tying mattresses to the roof of their car, Aya Fehmi and her family said they would be returning to what remained of their home in the central Gaza Strip.

They had evacuated Gaza City's Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood during the fourth week of Israel's ferocious assault on the besieged Palestinian enclave, when air strikes were raining down on the city.

But, following the end of the pause in fighting on Friday, the Israeli military began dropping leaflets were she was currently staying, telling Palestinians in Khan Younis that it was also now declared a "fighting zone" and they would have to flee once again.
