At least two people have lost their lives and several have been injured in a new Israeli drone attack carried out this Saturday in Jabalia, in the north of the Gaza Strip, despite the fact that the ceasefire has still been formally in effect for more than a year.
According to initial reports, Israeli aviation would have directed the bombing at a group of people who were at the Abú Sharij roundabout, in the western area of the Jabalia refugee camp. Subsequently, two corpses were taken to Al Shifa Hospital, in Gaza City, according to medical sources cited by the Palestinian newspaper "Fialstín". The deceased have been identified as Momen al Shandaghli and Rayab Rihan.
In parallel, artillery fire and the destruction of several buildings have been reported in the eastern sector of Gaza City. Attacks by Israeli military vehicles and artillery bombardments have also been recorded both in the Bureij refugee camp —in the central area— and in the south of the Palestinian enclave, including the central area of Jan Yunis.
On Friday, six other Palestinians already died and more than twenty others were injured in the context of Israeli operations, which since the start of the ceasefire have caused the deaths of 1,622 people and left 5,878 injured, according to the most recent tally released by the Gaza Ministry of Health.
Overall, since the escalation began following the Gaza attacks of October 7, 2023 —which caused around 1,200 deaths in Israeli territory— more than 74,000 Gazans have died and some 175,000 have been injured. In addition, it is estimated that 90% of the enclave’s infrastructure has been destroyed.
