The Israeli military has announced that it has encircled Jabalya in northern Gaza and is currently conducting operations in the area. Prior to the ground operation in the refugee camp, airstrikes were carried out overnight, targeting weapons storage facilities, underground infrastructure sites, terrorist cells, and other military infrastructure sites. The strikes, lasting approximately 90 minutes, were focused on eastern Jabalya and nearby Gaza City.
Following the airstrikes, paramedics from the Palestine Red Crescent Society reported two fatalities and several injuries after an apartment near the UNRWA clinic in Jabalya refugee camp was hit. UNRWA, a relief organization operating in Palestinian territories, provides humanitarian aid to those in need.
