News - Middle East: Jabalia in northern Gaza “is being wiped out,” residents say, as Israeli tanks push deeper to ramp up attacks on the historic Palestinian refugee camp. 

Palestinian health officials said dozens had been killed in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours.

Palestinian medics said they were unable to reach areas under fire.

“Jabalia is being bombed as if the war has just begun and the world is blind about it,” said Salah, 60, a father of five who is a resident of Gaza City.

“We live at least seven kilometers away, but the sounds of Israeli airstrikes and tank shelling deprive us of sleep. The world must stop Israeli crimes.”

The armed wings of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad said Resistance fighters had attacked Israeli forces in the north with anti-tank rockets

Israel’s military confirmed one soldier had been killed in northern Gaza.

Israel also issued new evacuation orders to residents of Jabalia and nearby Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya. The residents are told to head to a so-called humanitarian-designated zone in Mawasi in the southern Gaza Strip.

Palestinian and UN officials say there are no completely safe places in the besieged territory. 

Israel has massacred nearly 42,000 people in Gaza since October 2023.

More than 10,000 bodies are buried in the vast destruction of buildings, meaning the death toll is far higher.

Most of Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been displaced and humanitarian conditions have deteriorated sharply.
