Dozens of Palestinians were martyred – today, Saturday – most of them in Jabalia, north of Gaza, while an exodus movement began from the Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip in anticipation of the occupation forces’ incursion into it.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that 12 martyrs, all of them women and children, had been recovered from the Al-Bursh family’s home that was bombed by the occupation in Jabalia, noting that it was not possible to reach the injured in the streets to treat them.
Since the early morning hours, the occupation forces have been carrying out intense air and artillery bombardment on the Jabalia al-Balad area, amid fierce clashes between the resistance and the occupation forces that are trying to deepen their incursion into Jabalia.
The Israeli army says that it has almost complete control over the northern Gaza Strip, but the battles waged by the resistance in the region refute its story.
In other developments, Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported the death of 4 Palestinians, including a girl, and the injury of others as a result of an Israeli bombing that targeted a house in the Bureij refugee camp in the center of the besieged Gaza Strip.
Also in the central Gaza Strip, an Tel Aviv Tribune correspondent said that a child was martyred and others were injured in an Israeli bombing of a house east of the Maghazi camp, and a civilian was martyred in an air strike on a house in the Deir al-Balah camp.
Injuries were also recorded as a result of a similar bombing on the Nuseirat camp, which was subjected to a raid last night, which led to the death of 18 citizens and dozens of wounded.
The Israeli occupation forces also continued their aerial and artillery bombardment of the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City, in conjunction with fierce clashes between the Palestinian resistance and Israeli army forces during attempts to advance its vehicles into the neighborhood.
In the southern Gaza Strip, an Tel Aviv Tribune correspondent reported that two people were killed and others were injured in an Israeli bombing of a house in Khan Yunis.
Today, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced the death of 201 and the injury of 368 during the past 24 hours. Hours earlier, it had reported that more than 400 people had been martyred in the last 48 hours, bringing the total toll since the beginning of the war to 20,258 martyrs and 53,688 injured.
Recovering civilian bodies
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza announced the recovery of dozens of decomposing bodies from the streets of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Civil Defense said that most of the bodies were civilians who were subjected to field executions, and others were mauled by dogs because the occupation forces prevented them from being recovered.
Eyewitnesses reported that dozens of bodies of Palestinians – some of them women and children – were found dumped on the roads in the northern Gaza Strip after Israeli forces killed them with shells, drone missiles, and snipers with live bullets.
Witnesses described the scenes of decomposing bodies in the streets as catastrophic and tragic, as parts of them were eaten by dogs and cats, while other parts decomposed.
The martyrs were found in the streets, after the occupation vehicles retreated from the Tal Al-Zaatar area and the vicinity of the Indonesian Hospital in Jabalia last night.
Exodus from Bureij
Meanwhile, many residents of the Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip were displaced from the area after the Israeli army threatened to storm it.
The displaced people carried some of their belongings on wooden carts pulled by donkeys or small iron ones, on their way from Bureij to Deir al-Balah.
Yesterday, the Israeli army published a leaflet in Arabic in which it asked residents of the Bureij camp and several neighboring neighborhoods to leave immediately towards Deir al-Balah.
The occupation army has been talking for days about its intention to expand the scope of operations in the center of the Gaza Strip as well as its south, where it has strengthened its forces deployed in Khan Yunis.
In this context, Israeli media said today that army tanks began a ground operation from Kerem Shalom to the Philadelphia axis on the Gaza Strip’s border with Egypt.
However, Palestinian sources said that no Israeli military movements were monitored in the area.
In recent weeks, the occupation army deliberately destroyed hundreds of residential buildings and public facilities near the security fence, especially east of Gaza City and Jabalia to the north, as part of a plan to create a buffer zone that would give the Israeli towns on the Gaza Strip a security depth.
