STORYLINE:
A plume of smoke was seen rising in the Gaza skyline on Thursday from southern Israel.
Israel has been carrying out a major operation for more than a week in Jabaliya, an urban refugee camp in the territory’s north dating back to the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation. Israeli forces have repeatedly returned to Jabaliya and other areas after saying that Hamas militants had regrouped.
Hospitals received around 350 bodies since the Jabaliya offensive began on Oct. 6, according to Dr. Mounir al-Boursh, the director-general of Gaza’s Health Ministry.
He told the AP that more than half the dead were women and children, adding that many bodies remain in the streets and under the rubble, with rescue teams unable to reach them because of Israeli strikes.
“Entire families have disappeared,” he said.
Israel’s offensive has killed over 42,000 people, according to the Health Ministry, which does not say how many were fighters but says more than half were women and children.
The offensive has left large areas in ruins and displaced around 90% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million people, forcing hundreds of thousands into crowded tent camps or schools-turned-shelters.
