New Palestinian Exodus! But to Where?

A new Palestinian exodus is being forced but to where? Nobody knows! Palestinians in different neighborhoods of Gaza City are picking up what little left of their belongings and are on the move again.

Thousands of Palestinian families are fleeing their homes in Gaza City amid relentless Israeli occupation bombardment and the threat of imminent invasion.

The Israeli army threatened thousands of displaced Palestinians in Tuffah and Daraj neighborhoods to immediately evacuate and flee at the end of Israeli missiles and bombardment of already ruined homes that are in complete wreckage.

To make sure thousands started moving an Israeli occupation warcraft targeted the home of the Hallou family in the Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City. The home was previously targeted but no matter.

This time the bodies of more family members did not make it. They join other members of the family who are under the rubble.

This is part of the intense attack the city is being subjected to with firebombings in the Tafah, Sabra and Al Daraj neighborhoods, east of Gaza, to force force hundreds of families once more to move out of their homes.

Israeli shelling have also targetted the vicinity of the Bank of Palestine in Gaza City.

This is regarded as the biggest onslaught with Israeli warplanes launching as well, massive airstrikes on the once-plush neighbourhood  al-Remal in the city.

The Israeli military crackdown on civilians begun in the early hourse of Monday morning. “Our forces are now operating in Gaza City, including at the UNRWA headquarters, after intelligence information” an Israeli army announced.

The announcement created panic. In addition to the fact that many people started moving, patients in their hospital beds were hurriedly being wheeled out for miles to find another hospital. 

In addition to that, the heavy Israeli shelling tens of martyrs and wounded have been trapped under the rubble of their homes in Al Daraj and Al Tufah.
