Palestinians are forced to flee over and over to escape the changing offensives – or to remain in place and face death.
In this image taken from video, Palestinians returned to scenes of destruction in Gaza City's Shijaiyah neighborhood on Thursday, July 11, 2024, after Israel i troops withdrew following a two-week offensive.
After invading nearly every urban area across the tiny territory since October, Israeli forces are now repeatedly re-invading parts as Hamas shifts and maintains capabilities. Videos circulating on social media showed civil defense workers wrapping bodies, including several women, in blankets on the rubble-strewn streets of Tal al-Hawa and Sanaa. A hand poked out of the smashed concrete where workers dug into a collapsed building. Other video showed burned-out buildings.
The Israeli military said it could not comment on the discovery of the bodies. Israel's assault on the district began earlier this week after it issued an evacuation order for the area on Monday. In a statement Friday, the military said its troops targeted the abandoned headquarters compound of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, known asUNRWA abandoned the compound in October, early in the war.
Since then, Israeli ground offensives and bombardments have killed more than 38,300 people in Gaza, according to the territory's Health Ministry. It does not distinguish between combatants and civilians in its count. More than 80% of Gaza's 2.3 million people have been driven from their homes, and most are now crowded into squalid tent camps, facing widespread hunger.
