“This started in the early hours of this morning across the Gaza Strip.n We can confidently say that the entire Gaza Strip has been bombed equally since the early hours of this morning,” Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Deir el-Balah, Gaza Strip.

“We can still clearly hear the sound of the fighter jets flying at a very, very low level across the central area of Gaza and Deir el-Balah city,” he said.

Reports were received from the northern part of the Strip, particularly from Jabalia and the city of Beit Lahiya. These fighter jets carried out deadly attacks that destroyed the remaining residential buildings in Jabalia refugee camp, Jabalia town as well as the northern part of Beit Lahiya Project area and Beit Lahiya city.

“This is just pushing people into further internal displacement and causing massive civilian casualties.

“In the Nuseirat refugee camp, particularly in the northern area of the camp, very close to the Netzarim junction, the Israeli military on the ground is conducting a policy to expand the junction. In doing so, it carries out these attacks to destroy remaining residential buildings.

“These buildings are residential homes and residential towers that the Israeli military claims are being used as observation points by Palestinian fighters. But from what we’ve heard from witnesses, there were massive numbers of civilians inside these residential buildings,” Mahmoud said.
