Israeli military invades Jabalia again as Hamas ‘reconstitutes militarily’

Along with other neighbourhoods across Gaza such as Zeitoun, which the Israeli army has been coming back to repeatedly, Jabalia in the north is also being invaded again.

This is happening because Hamas is “reconstituting militarily there”, says the latest report by the Critical Threats Project and the Institute for the Study of War, two US-based think tanks.

It also noted intensified operations in the south. “The Israeli military expanded its evacuation orders for civilians around Rafah, extending the evacuation zone to two refugee camps and nearby neighbourhoods.”

Biden: Gaza ceasefire possible ‘tomorrow’ if Hamas frees captives

US President Joe Biden is putting the ball in Hamas’s court in mediated negotiations to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and an exchange of prisoners.

“There would be a ceasefire tomorrow if Hamas would release the hostages,” Biden said at a fundraiser outside Seattle, after avoiding the topic at three similar events on Friday.

Israel this week rejected a ceasefire and captive release agreement after Hamas agreed to it.

Israel is determined to press ahead with its offensive on Rafah, where 1.4 million displaced Palestinians are sheltering, in defiance of warnings from the UN and its allies, including its key military and political backer the US.
