Yesterday, Israeli forces from the air and ground continued to pound and push deeper into the northern area of Jabalia, the largest refugee camp in Gaza. International relief agencies said thousands of people are trapped there.
Israel struck two houses in Jabalia and the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, killing 19 people overnight, while 10 more died yesterday evening, with medics fearing the death toll could continue to rise as many of the wounded are in a critical condition.
The Israeli military published new evacuation orders yesterday to two neighbourhoods on the northern edge of Gaza City, which also lies in the north of the enclave, saying the area was a “dangerous combat zone”.
In a statement, the Strip’s Hamas-run interior ministry urged residents not to relocate within northern areas of the enclave and also to avoid heading south “where the occupation is conducting continued bombing and killing every day in the areas it claims to be safe”.
The Israeli military said it had been operating against Hamas fighters who had been using civilian buildings and that clear evacuation instructions had been issued over recent days to areas including the Kamal Adwan Hospital.
It said an evacuation convoy to take patients from the hospital to Gaza City had arrived yesterday with a supply of fuel for the facility.
