In a statement on X, the military said its troops began operating in the Shujayea area in the northern Gaza Strip with the aim of “deepening control and expanding the security zone”, Al Jazeera reports.

As part of the operations, the army killed a number of “terrorists” and destroyed “terrorist infrastructure,” including a command and control centre used by Hamas, it said.

The Israeli army is allowing civilians “to evacuate the combat zone for their safety, via designated routes,” it added.

Yesterday, at least 37 people were killed, including many women in and children, in Israeli attacks on north Gaza, specifically the Shujayea neighbourhood of Gaza City.
