The Israeli military says it is continuing to operate with extreme force in Jabalia city, Jabalia refugee camp and surrounding areas, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Deir el-Balah, Gaza.

Israeli tanks, bulldozers and armoured vehicles are all surrounding evacuation zones and evacuation centres, which are the UNRWA schools that have been turned into shelters for hundreds of displaced families from northern Gaza who are fleeing the horrors of the attacks.

There are at least three evacuation centres surrounded by military vehicles and tanks. People inside these centres have sent appeals for help to the Civil Defence department.
