Gaza war: Palestinians flee as ******** forces go back into Jabalia

Women who were filmed fleeing Jabalia on foot on Monday morning said they had decided to leave after seeing tanks advance into the area.

“The tank was behind the school classrooms,” Umm Jumma told Reuters news agency. “We did not want to leave until we saw it with our own eyes.”

Another woman said: “We have been displaced from one place to the next. And now we have left. We don’t know where to go.”

******-affiliated Safa news agency reported clashes between ************ armed groups and ******** tanks east of Jabalia camp’s market, near several UN-run schools which were being used as shelters by civilians.

The official ************ news agency Wafa meanwhile reported that two people were ******* in ******** strikes on homes in Jabalia camp on Monday and that a number of other people were ******* in a strike in Jabalia town.

It also cited ambulance crews as saying the bodies of 20 civilians had so far been recovered in Jabalia and taken to Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahia.

There was no immediate comment from the ******* Defense Forces (IDF).

On Sunday, the IDF said troops had begun an operation in Jabalia the previous evening that was “based on intelligence information regarding attempts by ****** to reassemble its ********** infrastructure and operatives in the area”.

Civilians there had been told to evacuate temporarily to “shelters in western Gaza City”, it added.

The IDF also said on Sunday that it was operating in the Zeitoun area, in eastern Gaza City, to “eliminate terrorists and dismantle ********** infrastructure”.

The UN agency for ************ refugees, Unrwa, said the bombardment and evacuation orders had “created more displacement and ***** for thousands of families” in northern Gaza.

Safa reported that Zeitoun was hit by ******** shellfire on Monday morning.

In a statement issued on Sunday, ****** accused ******* of “escalating their brutal massacres in various areas of the Gaza Strip”.

******* launched a military campaign in Gaza to ******** ****** in response to the group’s cross-border ******* on southern ******* on 7 October, during which about 1,200 people were ******* and 252 others were taken ********.

More than 35,000 people have been ******* in Gaza since then, according to the territory’s ******-run health ministry.
