The US says it is working with Israel to minimise civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip, an official told Reuters on Friday.
The official said that entire neighbourhoods of southern Gaza would be designated as zones that are safe for civilians - but that some would still have to leave their homes if they were in areas where Hamas fighters were embedded.
They added that the US expected there would be no full-scale assault on Khan Younis and Rafah such as the one targeting Gaza City.
