Targeting Jabalia aims to separate it from the Gaza Strip.

‎Whatever the roots and causes that led to the humanitarian tragedy in the Gaza ‎‎ ‎‎Strip, no human mind can believe what its eyes see or hear in its ears of the scenes of killing, destruction, genocide, and ethnic cleansing that have occurred ‎‎ ‎‎since the beginning of the war on the Gaza Strip first and those that are happening today in Jabalia Gaza. The scene that began in October 2023 in the Gaza Strip and under what the occupation called Operation Swords‎

‎ The occupation renamed the resurrection process by recommending ‎‎ ‎‎that the Israeli government be aptly named. ‎‎ ‎‎Wherever the army conducted its military operations in the Gaza Strip, the situation was turned upside down. The visible scenes of destruction and devastation prevailed in the brutality of these human creatures, with the dead in the hundreds and the wounded in the thousands, topping the list of children and women. Many were killed under the collapse of residential buildings, others by the use of other lethal weapons, and the scene turned horrific, like that of the Day of Judgement.‎

‎Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, the north entrance to the Erez border points with the Gaza envelope. After the first phase of the extension of the Israeli army’s control over all parts of the Gaza Strip was completed, it began to implement its infernal policies in Gaza. The first of these projects was apparently the separation of northern Gaza from the rest of the Strip ‎‎ ‎‎, which is the forced displacement of the residents of Jabalia and northern Gaza ‎‎ ‎‎from this border area of the cover area, apparently by implementing the so-called “generals’ plan” submitted by General Igor Eiland, head of the IDF’s planning division. It was prepared to empty the Jabalia area and northern Gaza, which led to the transformation of the north of the Gaza Strip into a “closed military zone” and the evacuation of the population from it under the influence of starvation and cutting off basic aid, meaning starvation to death to completely eliminate ‎‎ ‎‎any presence of the population of Gaza and any presence ‎‎ ‎‎of Hamas in the northern Gaza Strip. It would then turn it into an isolated area free of Palestinian residents along the border. ‎

‎The scene that seems to be visible after the Israeli bombardment that turned the Jabalia area and the northern Gaza Strip, which has a population of four hundred thousand people, into a ghost area under aerial bombardment, which led to the destruction of houses and the transformation of everything into ashes and this bombing was carried out under severe siege, starvation, thirst and prevention of medicine and treatment in this area. The army began its operations after asking residents to leave the Jabalya area, and the plan ‎‎ ‎‎is that those who remain are considered terrorists and are at risk of being killed. ‎

‎The scene seemed to be a horror of the Day of Resurrection; the houses were like graves that disappeared, and the residents who were lucky to survive came out from the bottom of the demolished buildings, and the dust of the rubble topped their bodies from the top of the head to the bottom of the foot, it is a breathtaking scene, and melts hearts.‎

‎The Israeli army in Jabalia gathered people after the bombardment, tanks, and the army surrounded them in a brutal scene and asked those who were not captured by the military to leave Jabalia in the south.‎

‎Gaza’s story will not end. It is a struggle between right and wrong, and the people’s will will triumph.
