Israeli army expands operation in Jabalia camp, northern Gaza
Gaza City, Palestine - The Israeli army on Wednesday expanded its incursion into the Jabalia refugee camp, northern Gaza Strip, under heavy Israeli bombardment and shelling.
Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that the Israeli forces reached the Al-trans area, central the camp, amid fierce clashes with the Palestinian resistant groups.
The Israeli army destroyed several homes inside the camp, and forced hundreds to flee their areas in the camp, the eyewitnesses added. The attack on Jabalia came as the Israeli army continues its incursion into the eastern areas of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, crowded with displaced Palestinians.
At least 12 Palestinians were killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes in the battered Gaza Strip on Wednesday, according to medical sources and witnesses.
Three bodies were recovered from under the rubble of a house struck by Israeli warplanes in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood in Gaza City, a medical source told Anadolu. A mother and her son were also killed in a strike targeting their house in the Yarmouk neighbourhood in Gaza City, witnesses said.
Five more people lost their lives in another Israeli attack on a house in the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, according to witnesses.
Two more people were killed and several others injured when Israeli forces shelled a group of civilians in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Israeli shelling of several neighbourhoods in Gaza City including AlRimal, Al-sabra, and Al-zaytoun also left several casualties.
The military also continued to eastern areas of the southern city of Rafah, causing wide-scale destruction and damage to property. Last week it launched a ground attack in Rafah, where more than 1.5mn displaced Palestinians have sheltered.
