In Pictures: With no safe place to go, Palestinians flee Jabalia amid deadly Israeli attacks
Gaza (Quds News Network)- The Israeli army has begun a ground operation in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza under the cover of air raids. Palestinians in the blockaded area have been forced to flee their homes once again as the Israeli army issued a new evacuation order.
Israeli tanks reportedly pushed into the northern Gaza areas of Beit Lahiya and Jabalia overnight and warplanes bombed several houses, killing and wounding many Palestinians.
Israeli forces have also surrounded the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
Palestinian Civil Defence spokesman in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, said multiple strikes rocked Jabalia through the night and there were many casualties.
“The troops of the 401st Brigade and the 460th Brigade have successfully encircled the area and are currently continuing to operate in the area,” the Israeli military said.
In one air strike, 10 people were killed in one house and five others in another. Residents described it as one of the worst nights in months.
Palestinian and UN officials say no place in the enclave is safe including the “humanitarian zones” where Israeli missiles have hit numerous times.
