A large-scale Israeli operation in northern Gaza has resulted in dozens of casualties and poses a threat to the functioning of three hospitals, according to Palestinian officials and residents. The ongoing conflict in Jabaliya, a region heavily impacted by previous Israeli operations, has led to significant destruction and isolation of the area. The current offensive, initiated in response to Hamas' attack on southern Israel, has intensified, with heavy fighting reported in various parts of northern Gaza.
Residents of Jabaliya, a historic refugee camp, have been forced to evacuate their homes due to heavy airstrikes and ongoing clashes. The situation has left thousands of people trapped in their residences, unable to move freely due to the presence of Israeli forces and drones. Concerns have been raised about the potential depopulation of the north and its conversion into a closed military zone or settlement.
