Israeli mounts airstrikes on Gaza's Jabalia camp

Thousands of Palestinians flee north to west of Gaza City, say eyewitnesses

By Anadolu staff

GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) - Israeli jets on Sunday pounded the Jabalia refugee camp causing mass displacement of Palestinians from the north to the west of Gaza City.

Local sources told Anadolu that more than 100 Israeli airstrikes hit roads and residential areas in the camp and its surroundings.

Intense overnight clashes took place between Palestinian fighters and Israeli forces east of the camp, the sources added.

Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian resistance group Hamas, said that its fighters were engaged in “fierce clashes” with Israeli army forces in the eastern part of the camp.

Large groups of Palestinians were seen moving from Jabalia to the western part of Gaza City, eyewitnesses said.

Israeli airstrikes also caused casualties in the central Gaza Strip.

Medical sources at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah told Anadolu that several Palestinians, including two doctors, were killed, and several others were injured in a series of Israeli attacks on Saturday night.

Israel has pounded Gaza following a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, on Oct. 7, which killed less than 1,200 people.

Nearly 35,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have since been killed, and over 78,600 injured, according to Palestinian health authorities.

Seven months into the conflict, vast swathes of Gaza lay in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.

Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). An interim ruling in January said it is "plausible" that Tel Aviv is committing genocide in Gaza, ordering it to stop such acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.

South Africa on Friday asked the ICJ to order Israel to withdraw from Rafah as part of additional emergency measures over the war.
