STORYLINE:
Thousands of Palestinians are seeking refuge in the Yarmouk Sports Stadium in Gaza City, after fleeing a renewed offensive by Israeli forces in the city’s eastern Shijaiyah neighbourhood.
The Israeli army has in recent days been battling militants in the Shijaiyah area, once again forcing entire families to evacuate and move to overcrowded shelters.
“We have been displaced more than once,” said Um Bashar, who had to move with her family suddenly last week when Israeli forces entered.
“The last place was last week, the Shijaiyah neighbourhood. We woke up and found tanks in front of the door. We did not take anything with us, neither a mattress, nor a pillow, nor anything. Clothes or anything, not even food,” she said.
Israel returned to the neighbourhood months after saying it had completed operations in the area.
Hamas has repeatedly regrouped in hard-hit areas after Israeli troops pulled out.
The latest operation has sent thousands of residents fleeing.
The army said it has killed dozens of militants and confiscated weapons from a hideout it said Hamas had kept in a United Nations-supported school.
Cease-fire talks appeared to be reviving after stalling for weeks.
