Israeli airstrikes on al-Burayj refugee camp and the town of Jabalia in the central and northern Gaza Strip killed at least 17 Palestinians today, the official Palestinian WAFA news agency reported.
The Israeli armed forces have not yet commented on an X entry by their Arabic-speaking spokesman that earlier warned residents of al-Burayj to evacuate the area as a strike against militants firing rockets from there was imminent.
The Israeli military also announced overnight that it had killed Abd al-Hadi Sabah, a Hamas fighter who led the Islamist group’s gunmen to infiltrate Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7, 2023 attack in southern Israel.
The directive to evacuate the al-Burayj camp caused a new wave of displacement, although it is not yet clear how many people it affected.
According to the Palestinian civil defense agency, more than 1,500 displaced persons’ tents across Gaza were flooded in the past two days by heavy rains, leaving people exposed to the cold and losing their belongings.
Much of the area around the towns of Beit Hanoun, Jabalia and Beit Lahiya in the northern part of the Gaza Strip has been cleared and leveled, fueling speculation that Israel intends to keep the area as a closed buffer zone after the fighting in Gaza ends.
WAFA reported that the army blew up residential complexes in Beit Lahiyya and in and around Jabalia, while tanks bombarded parts of Gaza City and al-Burayj camp.
