Israeli army continues its siege of the northern Gaza Strip for the 13th day

GAZA: The occupation forces continue their bombardment of the northern Gaza Strip for the 13th day, carrying out killings, blowing up homes, and forcibly displacing civilians. The occupation army is pursuing a policy of systematic destruction of buildings and forcible displacement of citizens in the northern Gaza Strip, especially in Jabalia camp, in light of the suffering of about 400 thousand citizens in the northern Gaza Strip from a strict siege. The Civil Defense announced that 200 thousand citizens in Jabalia camp have been living without food, drink or medicine for the 13th consecutive day. The citizens insist on not being displaced to the southern Gaza Strip, despite the war and the intense pressure exerted by the occupation, and its efforts to put the health system in the northern Gaza Strip out of service, after it requested the "Kamal Adwan, Indonesian, and Al-Awda" hospitals to evacuate on the tenth of this month. Since the beginning of its aggression and new ground invasion of the northern Ga za Strip, the occupation has besieged the town of Jabalia and its camp, preventing residents from fleeing to neighboring Gaza City, and ordering them to flee only via Salah al-Din Street, which extends along the eastern Gaza Strip from north to south. This is the third ground invasion carried out by the Israeli occupation forces in Jabalia camp since the beginning of the genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023. On the ground, the occupation's drones opened heavy fire on citizens and their homes in Jabalia camp, and firefighting teams were able to extinguish a large fire in a house near Abu Rashid Pool in Jabalia camp after it was bombed by the occupation. The Civil Defense reported that war and artillery shelling with phosphorous bombs by the occupation army targeted Khalifa School, which houses displaced people behind Sheikh Zayed Towers in northern Gaza. The occupation's warships also opened fire towards the coast of Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, coinciding with artillery shelling that targete d the Sabra neighborhood in southern Gaza and the vicinity of the port area and the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood in the west of the city.
