Overview of the Recent Israeli Airstrike in Jabalia Camp
On November 30, 2024, an Israeli airstrike in the Jabalia camp, located in the northern Gaza Strip, resulted in the deaths of 40 Palestinians. The strike targeted a residence belonging to the Al-Araj family, which was reportedly sheltering displaced individuals. This incident is part of a broader military operation that has intensified in the region since October 5, 2024.
Casualties and Ongoing Rescue Efforts
The Civil Defense in Gaza reported that many victims remain trapped under the rubble of collapsed buildings, complicating rescue efforts due to a shortage of medical and rescue personnel. Activists have indicated that the death toll could rise as more bodies are recovered from the debris. In the past two days alone, multiple airstrikes have been conducted in Jabalia and Beit Lahia, leading to significant casualties.
Context of the Conflict
This airstrike is part of a series of violent escalations in Gaza, with reports indicating that over 2,300 Palestinians have died since the beginning of the Israeli military operations, while Hamas claims the number exceeds 3,000. The situation remains dire, with ongoing attacks reported in other areas, including Nuseirat camp and Khan Yunis.
