The Israeli military is determined to take full military control of northern of Gaza.

Since midnight, the military has intensified its bombardment of Jabalia camp. The entire camp has been under Israeli fire as battles continue in the heart of the city. Videos from the military wing of Hamas show violent confrontations in the streets.

People have been killed on the streets of Jabalia refugee camp.

Israeli forces have also destroyed dozens of residential buildings, pushing more residents of the camp to flee to the western part of Gaza City.

We also hear from witnesses that bombardment is taking place in the vicinity of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the town of Beit Lahiya as well. Emergency workers are struggling to reach the area to evacuate the injured.

Israeli tanks have surrounded the entrance of Beit Hanoon town, where some families from Jabalia have fled to take shelter. The military has completely surrounded evacuation centres there, as tanks continue to fire in the area, terrifying civilians.
