Israeli forces encircle Jabaliya in northern Gaza as Hamas rebuilds
Israeli military forces have encircled Jabaliya in northern Gaza, targeting Hamas's rebuilding efforts amid ongoing strikes. The operation follows intelligence reports of militant activities and aims to disrupt Hamas's operational capabilities. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that troops from the 401st and 460th Brigades have successfully surrounded Jabaliya. Airstrikes have targeted weapons storage and other militant infrastructure, resulting in significant casualties and displacement of residents. Since the conflict began after Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, Jabaliya has faced regular bombardment, leading to the near-total displacement of its population.
