Battles intensify in Gaza's Jabalia and Rafah
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Wednesday that troops had begun “an operation against terrorist operatives and infrastructure in the centre of Jabalia camp” overnight.
Wafa also said there had been violent shelling of the Zeitoun neighbourhood, in eastern Gaza City, from which Israeli troops withdrew on Wednesday following a separate six-day operation.
The IDF has ordered the evacuation of a number of neighbourhoods since 6 May, when it began what it called “precise operations in specific areas of eastern Rafah and the Gazan side of the Rafah crossing”.
