Israel's defence minister says he has instructed its military to prepare a plan to move all Palestinians in Gaza into a camp in the south of the territory, Israeli media reports say.

Israel Katz told journalists on Monday he wanted to establish a "humanitarian city" on the ruins of the city of Rafah to initially house about 600,000 Palestinians - and eventually the whole 2.1 million population.

He said the goal was to bring people inside after security screening to ensure they were not Hamas operatives, and that they would not be allowed to leave.

If conditions allowed, he added, construction would begin during a 60-day ceasefire that Israel and Hamas are trying to negotiate.

The US called for calm in Syria and warned that “the rape and slaughter of innocent people” must stop.

Fighting in the country’s south, sparked by conflict between rival Druze and Bedouin groups, has led to the deaths of over 1,000 people.

The toll included more than 500 Druze, members of a minority religious group, 194 of whom were “summarily executed by defence and interior ministry personnel”, a war monitor said.
