Israel announced on Thursday that it will expand its offensive on
north Gaza, which has been ongoing since October 5 last month.
According to the Israeli army, military operations that have largely
taken place in Jabalia refugee camp will expand to Beit Lahia.

In Jabalia, Israeli forces have been carpet bombing the remaining infrastructure of the refugee camp and deploying quadcopter drones
among the civilian population. Eyewitnesses who spoke to Mondoweiss
last month reported that the drones fired on fleeing residents waving
white flags and targeted individuals using facial recognition.
Simultaneously, Israeli forces have blocked the entry of food and
medicine to all of northern Gaza, pushing inhabitants to leave the
area or starve. Survivors of the ongoing invasion report an
�extermination� campaign.

Most Palestinians who have been forced to leave Jabalia have fled to
Gaza City, just south of north Gaza. Others have fled to Beit Lahia
and Beit Hanoun within the north, and according to local sources, only
a small number of Palestinians have fled to the southern Gaza Strip.

On Tuesday, a spokesperson of the Israeli army, Yitzhak Cohen, said in
a press briefing that the army has come close to the complete
�evacuation� of the population of north Gaza. The army spokesperson
said that Palestinian residents of the north will not be allowed to
return to their homes. This declaration marks the first official
Israeli admission of the intent to permanently expel Palestinians from
north Gaza.

The Israeli army continues to besiege Kamal Adwan Hospital, ten days
after first raiding the medical compound and forcibly removing most of
its patients, medical staff, and the displaced civilians sheltering
there. The hospital�s director, Dr. Husam Abu Safiyeh, said on
Wednesday that Israeli forces have been striking the upper floors of
the hospital, putting patients� lives in danger. Video footage taken
from inside the hospital showed the moment when Palestinian civilians
were clearing the upper floors as Israeli bombs struck the hospital.

Dr. Abu Safiyeh said that Israeli forces had arrested most of the
medical staff in the invasion ten days ago and were blocking the
arrival of medical teams. Abu Safiyeh added that only a few doctors,
in addition to himself, remained to tend to the patients that were
left.

Several wounded patients lost their lives at Kamal Adwan due to the
lack of specialized personnel and medical supplies, the hospital
director said.

Kamal Adwan is the only remaining functioning hospital in north Gaza.

Israel is to the 21st century what Germany was to the 20th. The
barbarity and cruelty are equal.
