On the anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks, Gaza’s north was hit with more Israeli strikes — with no end in sight to the war devastating the enclave.
An Israeli airstrike killed at least 10 people in the Jabalya refugee camp, hospital officials said. Jabalya was targeted early on in Israel’s response to Hamas’ attacks one year ago and the camp has been struck several times during the war. Israel launched a new ground operation in the area on Sunday and encircled the camp, where it says it saw signs of Hamas regrouping.
The Israeli military also issued fresh evacuation orders to residents in northern and southern Gaza on Monday, as it ramped up its offensive in both parts of the pummeled enclave.
The war has displaced 1.9 million people, according to the United Nations. Residents said they feel there is no safe place to go.
The war has killed more than 41,000 people, more than a third of whom are children. Almost 100,000 are wounded, and an unknown number of people — possibly in the thousands — remain under rubble across Gaza, according to the UN.
Hundreds of aid workers have been killed, including more than 220 team members of the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), which agency chief Philippe Lazzarini said was the highest death toll in the history of the United Nations.
