The Israeli army said on Tuesday that it had surrounded the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza after destroying what it called “terrorist infrastructure”, Al Jazeera reported.
Jabalia camp, the largest in Gaza, has already been the target of Israeli air attacks multiple times since October 7, resulting in the killing of hundreds of people and destruction of infrastructure.
As per the latest reports, Israel had ramped up attacks across the Gaza Strip, including near hospitals and in the south of the besieged enclave where the ground operation was being intensified.
Quoting the Norwegian Refugee Council’s chief, Al Jazeera stated that, “Israel’s indiscriminate bombardment of Palestinian civilians in southern Gaza has reached new depths.”
Speaking of last night’s attacks, Hani Mahmoud – reporting for the Qatar-based media house from Gaza – said “this has been a very, very tough night for Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, particularly for residents in Khan Younis city and Rafah city, and the 1.5 million evacuees who have been pushed south by the Israeli military to avoid getting bombed in northern Gaza”.
