Four Palestinian children have been killed after a shell fired from an Israeli ship landed on a beach in Gaza, medics have said.
Reports of the attack, described by the Gaza Health Ministry as "cowardly", are being investigated by officials in Israel.
Earlier, the country dropped thousands of leaflets, urging Palestinians living in northern and eastern parts of the territory to leave their homes.

Palestinian militants fired dozens of rockets in the first six hours of an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire plan.
That led to fresh strikes on Gaza, home to 1.7 million people, with the homes of four senior Hamas leaders reportedly among the targets.
Leaflets were dropped warning of IDF strikes in Gaza Five people were killed in raids on Gaza City, southern Khan Younis, Rafah and central Johr al Deeq, according to the AFP news agency.
Israel, which has said it will "expand and intensify" its offensive, also confirmed its first death of the week-long conflict.
A man who was delivering food to soldiers suffered fatal wounds when a Hamas rocket struck the Erez crossing on the Gaza border.
Hamas was told it would "pay the price" for rejecting the ceasefire plan but officials for the group said they had not been consulted on the proposals and would not halt violence without a fully-fledged deal including Israeli concessions.
In automated phone calls to residents of Beit Lahiya and the neighbourhoods of Shijaiyah and Zeitoun in Gaza City, the Israeli military told people to leave.
But Sami Wadiya, who lives in one of the areas likely to be targeted, said he would not leave his home.
"We know it's risky but there are no secure places to go to," he said.
The raids have already prompted around 17,000 people to flee their homes, with many taking refuge in UN schools.
More than 200 Palestinians, many of them civilians, have been killed over the last week.
Israeli aircraft have struck close to 1,700 times in raids the country claims are designed to stop rocket fire from Gaza.
Palestinians flee their homes amid continuing airstrikes on Gaza City Since July 8, Gaza militants have fired more than 1,200 rockets at Israel, hundreds of which have been intercepted by the Iron Dome air defence system.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "It would have been preferable to have solved this diplomatically ... but Hamas leaves us no choice but to expand and intensify the campaign against it.
"Hamas chose to continue fighting and will pay the price for that decision. When there is no ceasefire, our answer is fire."
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Sami Abu Zuhri, a spokesman for Hamas, said: "We didn't get to see the Egyptian proposal except through the media.
"The idea of halting fire before there is any agreement on the conditions laid out by the resistance is unacceptable and we reject it."
Hamas has said it wants an end to Israel's blockade of Gaza and the opening of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt as part of a truce deal.
It also wants Israel to free Palestinians it re-arrested after releasing them in a 2011 exchange for an Israeli soldier held by Gaza militants for more than five years.
