GAZA/JERUSALEM, Nov 1 (Reuters) - A first group of civilian evacuees from Gaza crossed into Egypt under a Qatari-mediated deal on Wednesday while Israeli forces bombed the Palestinian enclave from land, sea and air as they pressed their offensive against Hamas militants.

The evacuees, who had been trapped in Gaza since the start of the war more than three weeks ago, were driven in ambulances through the Rafah border crossing. A source at the border said they were undergoing security checks on the Egyptian side.

Turkey said it had resumed diplomatic contacts with Egypt, a sign it’s making progress in rebooting relations with some Arab nations that for years have been strained over Islamist politics and regional conflicts.

The talks are at the “intelligence and foreign ministry levels,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Friday, according to the state-run Anadolu Agency.

Mr. Cavusoglu said that while neither side had set preconditions, “it’s not that easy to move on as if nothing has happened after years of broken ties.” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said shortly after that contacts could move to a higher level if they produced results.

The Gambia on Friday filed a more than 500-page Memorial, which also includes over 5,000 pages of supporting material, in its lawsuit against Myanmar at the ICJ in The Hague, making its case for how the government of Myanmar is responsible for genocide against Rohingya.
