Bodies in Streets of Jabalia as Israeli Army Maintain Siege

Today, Tuesday, there are media reports of dozens of Palestinian bodies lying in the streets of Jabalia refugee camp, with civil defense unable to reach them due to the Israeli forces besieging the area.

Israeli forces have entered Jabalia four days ago with the aim of forcing its residents to move to Al Mawasi and clear the area in a bid to start implementing the Generals’ Plan of evacuating the population of north Gaza in preparation of declaring it a security zone.

However, they are reports like as in previous incursions of the town and its camp the Israeli army is having a tough time with reports of at least one soldier being killed and a tank blown up from the Palestinian resistance groups who have regrouped in north Gaza.

The Israeli army had already reduced Jabalia into a pile of rubble and debris in early June, 2024, yet they couldn’t get rid of the stiff resistance there. In the first six days when Israeli soldiers started to enter Jabalia and the areas of northern Gaza that included Biet Lahia, Biet Hanoon and Al Zaitoun in Gaza City, the Israeli army reported it lost 95 soldiers between those killed and injured and with tanks, armed carriers and few bulldozers put out of action. The cost of one bulldozer is earmarked at $1 million.
