Residents in northern Gaza’s Jabalia say Israeli tanks reach heart of camp amid siege and telecommunications blackout.
Israeli strikes across the besieged Gaza Strip have killed at least 34 Palestinians, the Ministry of Health says, with many of the casualties reported in the northern part of the enclave, where Israeli forces have stepped up their ground assault.
Residents of Jabalia in northern Gaza said on Friday that Israeli tanks had reached the centre of the refugee camp, using heavy air and ground fire, after pushing through suburbs and residential districts.
They added that the Israeli army was destroying dozens of houses on a daily basis from the air and the ground and by placing bombs in buildings, then detonating them remotely.
Videos verified by Al Jazeera showed heavy smoke enveloping a heavily damaged building in Jabalia and chaotic scenes as people ran for cover amid heavy Israeli shelling.
At least 15 of the people killed on Friday died in Jabalia as Israel continues its crippling siege of northern Gaza, including Beit Hanoon and Beit Lahiya.
