Palestinian fighters claim most attacks on Israeli forces in a single day since start of year

Palestinian armed groups claimed to have launched 33 attacks against Israeli forces in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, the most attacks claimed by Palestinian fighters in a single day of the war in 2024.

Washington, DC-based think tanks the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and the Critical Threats Project (CTP) said the “unusually high number of attacks” reported on Monday demonstrate that Palestinian armed groups remain “combat effective and retain a significant force presence” beyond just Rafah in Gaza’s south.

“Hamas has exploited Israeli withdrawals from the northern Gaza Strip to begin reconstituting there, which has in turn led Israeli forces to return to areas to re-clear them,” the ISW and CTP said in their latest battlefield assessment.

“Hamas and the other Palestinian militias will almost certainly resume their reconstitution efforts in these neighbourhoods after Israeli forces complete their current clearing operations,” the think tanks said.



Gaza death toll hits 35,173, more than 79,000 injured

A total of 35,173 people have been killed and 79,061 injured in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7, the Palestinian territory’s Health Ministry says in its latest casualty update. The ministry said that 82 Palestinians were killed and 234 injured in the past 24 hours alone.


Jabalia evacuation centres besieged

The Israeli military says it is continuing to operate with extreme force in Jabalia city, Jabalia refugee camp and surrounding areas.

Israeli tanks, bulldozers and armoured vehicles are all surrounding evacuation zones and evacuation centres, which are the UNRWA schools that have been turned into shelters for hundreds of displaced families from northern Gaza who are fleeing the horrors of the attacks.

There are at least three evacuation centres surrounded by military vehicles and tanks. People inside these centres have sent appeals for help to the Civil Defence department.

This ongoing evacuation and forced displacement has started to feed into what people think of more as permanent displacement, bringing back memories of the Nakba in 1948, when their grandfathers and their fathers were forced out of their homes.
