The Israeli army is advancing with a tank convoy towards the town of Jabalia in the north of the Gaza Strip. Bombs are being dropped from planes to protect them. Ground forces are also firing at various targets. This is how the Israeli forces entered and attacked the city of Jabalia on Monday. Local residents and the media of the Palestinian independence organization Hamas said that in addition to the attack on Jabalia, Israeli tanks and troops have crossed the main road near the outskirts of Rafah in the south of Gaza. Meanwhile, in the face of Israeli attacks, the eastern region of Rafah has now become a ghost town.

Of the eight refugee camps that have been set up in Gaza, the largest is located in Jabaliya. Yesterday an Israeli tank convoy tried to advance towards the heart of the camp. At this time, tanks fired at the center of the camp. Apart from this, many buildings were heavily damaged in air strikes.

Local residents and doctors said that many people were killed in the Israeli bombardment. Apart from this, massive casualties occurred in the refugee camp during the day and night attack on Sunday. The doctors said that it was not possible to send workers for rescue or treatment in the areas where the bomb attack took place. Israel continues to carry out massive attacks there. Casualties were reported from there.

■ Massive bombing in Rafah.

Meanwhile, the Israeli forces have started heavy bombardment and shelling in the eastern area of Rafah near the Egyptian border. Airstrikes have already caused many casualties. Residents there say that Israel has cut off communication with the eastern part of Rafah city. As a result, the eastern part of Rafah has now become a ghost town. Israeli troops and tanks have also been seen carrying out large-scale attacks in the southeast of Rafah. Earlier last week, Israel asked residents of Rafah to evacuate the city. 14 lakh homeless people settled in this city. According to Israel, 350,000 Palestinians have fled to humanitarian shelters along the coast.

Health systems in the besieged Palestinian territory are hours away from collapse, the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said on Monday. Israeli forces have stopped fuel shipments using the crossing.

US Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew said last Sunday that the way Israel is conducting operations in Rafah is still acceptable to the US. Earlier last week, US President Joe Biden said that the United States will not supply bombs to Israel if it attacks Rafah. In response to Biden's comments, Liu said on Sunday, "I hope we don't have real differences."

According to Hamas, its forces are responding in Rafah and Jabalia. Meanwhile, the rocket attack sirens were sounded several times in Israel yesterday. Israel claimed last Saturday that it was fighting Hamas in Jabalia. A month ago they said they won against Hamas in Jabalia.

45-year-old Saeed, a resident of Jabalia, said that the Israeli soldiers are throwing bombs everywhere. They are destroying all the houses near the school. Again the war is starting here. Since October 7, the number of dead in Palestine has exceeded 35,000.

Complaints against the United States
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has complained that the United States and European countries are not taking enough initiative on the ceasefire agreement. Last Sunday, he said that although Hamas has accepted the ceasefire proposal, the United States is not putting enough pressure on Israel to accept it. Turkey has called for an immediate end to attacks on Gaza and to agree to a ceasefire. In addition, Erdoğan also condemned the unconditional support of Western countries to Israel.

Türkiye has already stopped all trade with Israel. Apart from this, the country has also announced its decision to join the accusation of genocide brought by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice. Erdoğan said in front of Islamic experts in Istanbul last Sunday that Hamas has agreed to a ceasefire proposal mediated by Qatar and Egypt. But Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's government does not want to end the war. Netanyahu's government wants to attack innocent people in Rafah. Egypt has also said to support South Africa in the ICJ.
