The Gaza Media Office said that the Israeli army is intensifying its onslaught in northern Gaza, including the Jabalia refugee camp, with “massacres and deliberate killings” since its ground encroachment on October 6, TRT World reports.

“The occupation army is preventing rescue teams and civil defence from retrieving more than 75 martyrs out of 285 who have been killed during its ground assault,” it said in a statement.

It “is committing crimes against humanity and engaging in premeditated killing by bombing displacement and shelter centres, carrying out horrific massacres against civilians through targeted shelling of gatherings of children and women,” it said.

In an effort to reinforce the onslaught, the Israeli army has attempted to destroy the healthcare system in the northern enclave by rendering all hospitals inoperable and firing directly at the facilities, according to the government office.

It warned about Israeli efforts to turn “northern Gaza into a region of destruction and death, as part of its plan to displace our Palestinian people.”
