Israel has escalated its bombing campaign in the northern Gaza Strip, specifically targeting the Jabalia refugee camp, where an entire neighborhood has been attacked and dozens of residential homes have been completely destroyed, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
Prior to this, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized the need to “break the situation in the Gaza Strip,” where he witnessed an “unprecedented escalation of bombings” instead of a humanitarian pause.
On October 7, Hamas forces launched thousands of rockets into Israeli territory, initiating the “Flood of Al-Aqsa” operation. Thousands of militants infiltrated Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military vehicles and over a hundred hostages. Against this backdrop, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country was in a state of war.
The Israeli Defense Forces’ retaliatory operation, named “Iron Swords,” aims to destroy Hamas. The Israeli Air Force has targeted hundreds of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, while the Israeli National Security Council has decided to halt the supply of water, food, goods, electricity, and fuel to the region. On October 13, Israel informed the United Nations that 1.1 million Palestinians must evacuate to the southern Gaza Strip within 24 hours in anticipation of a ground operation in Gaza.
Earlier, a political analyst identified one of the causes of the escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
