Israeli forces ‘firing on anyone who moves’ in Gaza’s Jabalia: Red Crescent
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society says Israel’s most recent attack on the historic Palestinian refugee camp of Jabalia has left dozens of people dead or injured.
“Soldiers are firing at anyone who moves in the Be’er al-Na’ja area, west of Jabalia in northern Gaza,” the Red Crescent Society said.
It said Red Crescent medics are receiving urgent pleas to evacuate casualties but they are unable to respond due to Israel’s ground invasion.
The regime is following a similar line in Lebanon, where it deliberately targets first responders after its airstrikes.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees has said Israel’s intensified savagery in northern Gaza is forcing UNRWA to shut down lifesaving services. At least seven UN-run schools used as shelters for the displaced are being evacuated.
In Jabalia, only two out of eight water wells are currently operational, UNRWA said.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) earlier said the regime’s forced evacuation orders in northern Gaza were turning the besieged Palestinian territory into a “lifeless desert.” MSF said in a statement on Tuesday that the orders are “causing the forced displacement of people.
Israel recently issued new evacuation orders to residents of Jabalia and nearby Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya. The residents are told to head to a so-called humanitarian-designated zone in Mawasi in the southern Gaza Strip.
There are no completely safe places in Gaza, and that is the hard fact on the ground. Nonetheless, many Palestinians have said they would not leave.
“Death is better than leaving,” said Ibrahim Awda, 42, who lives with his family in a tent in the Jabalia refugee camp.
“The occupation is trying to force us to migrate and move south after a year of steadfastness in the north and after losing our homes and jobs.”
Awda lost two sons and his home in Israeli attacks. “They will not leave their homes in northern Gaza unless we die.”
Israel has massacred nearly 42,000 people in Gaza since October 2023. More than 10,000 bodies are buried in the vast destruction of buildings, meaning the death toll is far higher.
