Amid heavy combat in key urban areas, including around Khan Younis, Hamas said there would be no further return of hostages until Israel's "aggression against Gaza stopped".
The UN said "some of the heaviest shelling in Gaza so far" took place between Sunday and Monday afternoons. The Gaza health ministry said 349 Palestinians had been killed and 750 injured in that period.
The latest fighting came as the Biden administration imposed a visa ban on Israeli settlers engaged in violence against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank - one of the toughest measures against Israel by the White House in recent memory.
"The United States has consistently opposed actions that undermine stability in the West Bank, including attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians, and Palestinian attacks against Israelis," the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, said yesterday. "We have underscored to the Israeli government the need to do more to hold accountable extremist settlers who have committed violent attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank. As President Biden has repeatedly said, those attacks are unacceptable."
