Evacuation warnings issued by Israel to people in Gaza ahead of attacks have contained a host of significant errors, BBC analysis has revealed.

Warnings contained contradictory information and sometimes misnamed districts. This made them confusing to Gazans seeking safety.

Experts say such mistakes could violate Israel's international law obligations.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has rejected any assertion the warnings were confusing or contradictory.

In a statement, it said the alerts analysed by the BBC were only one element of its "extensive efforts to encourage the evacuation [of] civilians out of harm's way"
