Official Palestinian media report four deaths in the refugee camp and in the Israeli barricades separating Gaza City
MADRID, 13 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) – In the last few hours the Israeli army has multiplied its operations against the Gaza city of Jabalia, in the north of the Palestinian enclave and which hosts the main refugee camp in the Strip, where Palestinian doctors have reported at least four deaths in an Israeli bombing in the last few hours and local sources are already talking about an attempt to divide the rest of the territory.
In a first statement, the Israeli army confirmed new operations by the soldiers of its 162nd division which led to the “destruction of 40 targets” belonging to the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas and the death of “dozens of enemy fighters”.
For their part, Palestinian doctors informed the official Palestinian news agency, WAFA, that in addition to the four deaths confirmed in Jabalia, there are seven more deaths in the Nuseirat refugee camp, in the center of the enclave.
Agency sources also report that in the last few hours Israel has begun to place a series of barricades between the north of the Strip and Gaza City, in the center of the enclave, in what, they assure, is the definitive consolidation of Israeli efforts to separate the territories to the north from the rest of the enclave.
For several days the Israeli army has issued several forced evacuation orders in the northern Gaza Strip, claiming that Hamas was trying to reconstitute itself in the area after a year of conflict.
The new operation in Jabalia led, on 6 October, to the issuing of one of the largest orders since the outbreak of the conflict a year ago; a situation that affected dozens of sectors and which forced the Israeli government to expand the area considered by Israel to be “safe” on the coast of the enclave in anticipation of the tens of thousands of displaced people who would be forced to abandon their place again.
The latest of these orders, last Saturday, affected the D5 sector, one of the largest in the north of the enclave.
