Palestinian officials say Israel is carrying out a plan of “ethnic cleansing”. Israel denies claims that residents won’t ever be able to return to their homes.
Israeli forces have stepped up bombardment across the Gaza Strip and ordered more evacuations, creating a fresh wave of displacement from northern Gaza, to which Palestinians fear they will not be able to return.
“After they displaced most or all of the people in Jabalia, now they are bombing everywhere, killing people on the roads and inside their houses to force everyone out,” the man told Reuters via a chat app, giving only one name, Ahmed, for fear of repercussions. A Palestinian man reacts with emotion following Israeli airstrikes on the al-Fakhoora district of Jabalia.It denied press reports that people evacuated from northern Gaza would not be allowed to return and said it was continuing to allow aid into northern Gaza and the Jabalia area, where it said it was engaged in “intense combat”.
Palestinian and UN officials say there were no safe areas in the enclave, most of whose 2.3 million people have been forced to leave their homes. The Israeli military said it wasn’t aware of the incident, in response to a request for comment from Reuters.
