Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reports that there is a “clear concentration” of Israeli forces around the north of the Gaza Strip.

One of the latest barrages of strikes hit a residential house in Jabalia, killing six Palestinians, including a woman and two children, he adds.

Azzoum reports that the attack left behind a swathe of destruction, with civil defence workers trying to recover victims under the rubble.

“We have also been hearing from witnesses on the north of the Strip that they have been getting new evacuation orders — but they are saying that they have no other places to go to and they are just moving between neighbourhoods,” Azzoum reports.
