In a devastating Israeli airstrike, a mosque and adjacent homes in the northern Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp were destroyed, resulting in numerous casualties, including children and women.
This attack adds to the grim tally of over 600 mosques obliterated by Israeli forces since the onset of the conflict in Gaza. At the scene, amidst ongoing shelling in the east of Jabalia refugee camp, the sense of fear and uncertainty is palpable.
Israeli troops maintain a siege around Beit Hanoon’s al-Shawa school, where hundreds of Palestinians have sought refuge. Reports indicate that Israeli forces are using loudspeakers to instruct people to evacuate, raising concerns among the trapped civilians of facing a fate similar to those who sought refuge at al-Shifa Hospital.
As communication with the school has been severed, the fate of those sheltering there remains unknown. The community anxiously awaits news of their safety, fearing further Israeli actions.
