In an escalation of the genocidal onslaught on northern Gaza, Israeli occupation forces carried out an airstrike on a residential complex in the Jabalia refugee camp this evening, resulting in the murder and injury of approximately 150 civilians, including women and children.
This tragic event marks yet another chapter in what the ongoing Israeli campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide in the region that has been going on for three weeks.
Local sources reported that at least ten homes in the Al-Houja area of Jabalia were struck by Israeli warplanes, leading to the murder and injury of dozens of civilians and widespread destruction.
Residents of the targeted area issued urgent calls for assistance to transport the wounded; however, rescue teams faced significant challenges in reaching the scene due to ongoing attacks by Israeli occupation forces.
The homes destroyed belonged to several families, including the Najjar, Abu Al-Ouf, Salman, Hijazi, Abu Qumsan, Aql, Abu Rashid, Abu Tarabish, Zaqoul, and Sha’
lan families.
Since October 5, 2024, Israeli troops have intensified their ground invasion and bombardment of various locations in northern Gaza, with efforts aimed at forcibly displacing the local population.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 42,847 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 100,544 others injured.
Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.
Israel’s genocidal attacks continue despite calls from the United Nations Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
