The latest strikes are Israel's heaviest assault in the territory since a ceasefire took effect in January.
Egypt, a key mediator in Gaza ceasefire talks, called Israel's new offensive on Gaza a “flagrant violation of the ceasefire deal.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the strikes because of a lack of progress in talks to extend the ceasefire.
Officials added that the operation was open-ended and was expected to expand.
