Before the new strikes, the Gaza health ministry said at least 39 Palestinians, 20 of them in Jabalia, had been killed by Israeli military strikes across Gaza on Friday
Palestinians walk past destroyed houses, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, in Jabalia refugee camp, in the northern Gaza Strip on Feb. 22, 2024.At least 30 people were killed and dozens wounded in Israeli strikes that hit several houses at a square on Friday in Jabalia, the largest of Gaza’s eight historic refugee camps, medics said, where residents said tanks blew up roads and houses as they thrust further into the territory.
Residents of Jabalia in northern Gaza said Israeli tanks had reached the heart of the camp, using heavy air and ground fire, after pushing through suburbs and residential districts. Later on Friday, residents in Jabalia and two nearby towns said communications and internet services were cut, disrupting rescue operations by ambulance teams and the ability of people affected by Israeli operations to seek help. The escalation of Israel’s Jabalia operation came a day after it said it had killed the country’s number one enemy, Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’ chief, whom it blamed for ordering the Oct. 7 attack on Israel – the deadliest in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
On Friday, health officials appealed for fuel, medical supplies and food to be sent immediately to three northern Gaza hospitals overwhelmed by the number of patients and injuries. Hamas and health officials, however, say the aid has not been reaching the worst affected areas, including Jabalia, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya.
