The battle for Al Shuejaiya is fierce. Israeli forces are trying to move into the neighborhood under the protection of Israel warplanes which are bombing the area indiscriminately with the number of those killed climbing from eight to 15 being martyred and 105 injured.
Under heavy Israel bombardment, Thursday, at least 100s of families are being forced to evacuate the Al Shuejaiya neighborhood.
This is the umpteenth time, the town has been under heavy bombardment by Israeli warplanes. Scores of injuries are being reported while Israeli forces are moving into the town under the protection of heavy artillery shelling.
All neighborhoods in east Gaza are being targeted by Israeli warplanes including Al Zaitoon and Al Tufah.
Reports say the raids and shelling first forced people to stay in their homes but then forced them to leave and join the 100s of thousands of displaced people. For many this has been a constant struggle with people forced to leave six or seven times.
In Al Shuejaiya there is now indiscriminate tank shelling and this is forcing people to leave their homes in a process being described as mass displacement and dismemberment.
The shelling of Shuejaiya is trending under different tags including #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust #ZionistTerrorism under intense airstrikes and heavy artillery shelling with no respite.
Spokesman of the Civil Defence told Al Jazeera that 7 victims arrived at Al Ahili Baptist Hospital. He called upon international organizations to intervene to protect the civilians and especially children.
He said there are victims and injured people Al Shejaiya whom our teams have not been able to reach.
Finally, he adds tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians have been displaced due to the intense Israeli bombing of the neighborhood. Further, reports say that Israeli warplanes fired at Palestinians fleeing the neighborhood.
At one point shrapnel from an Israeli artillery shelling targeting Al-Shuja’iyya nearly hit Al-Jazeera correspondent Ismael Al-Goul as he was covering the Israeli attack on the area today.
