In the midst of Israeli military operations, a series of attacks took place in various areas of the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of at least 14 civilians. They intensified their military operation in Beit Hanoun in the north, forcing a majority of the remaining residents to abandon their homes. A local resident stated that "currently in the sector there are echoes reminiscent of the events of 1948."
Witnesses reported that Israeli soldiers detained men for questioning, while women and children were allowed to leave. They claim that Israeli soldiers surrounded areas where displaced families and remaining residents were located, which they estimate to be several thousand people, and told them to head south through a checkpoint separating northern Gaza and a refugee camp from southern Gaza.
"The Israeli army yesterday, on Tuesday, forced hundreds of Palestinians...," he added.
