Ethnic Cleansing of Northern Gaza

The northern part of the Gaza Strip is under a heavy siege imposed by the Israeli military amid renewed aerial and ground assaults.

The Israeli military also launched a major new offensive on the Jabalia refugee camp on Wednesday, with Palestinians say the densely populated camp is being ‘wiped out’ as Israeli soldiers are reportedly shooting at anyone who moves.

The renewed assault comes amid fears that the military is implementing a plan conceived by retired Major-General Giora Eiland to empty northern Gaza of its 400,000 residents to make way for a “closed military zone”.

The plan calls for the ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza, warning that those that remain will face starvation.
