A number of Palestinians were killed and injured on Friday evening in an Israeli airstrike on a house in Jabalia town, north of the Gaza Strip.
Local sources reported that the Israeli occupation aircraft bombed the house of the Abu Warda family in Jabalia al-Balad, which resulted in a number of killed and wounded.
The Israeli occupation dropped from fighter jets “evacuation orders” to Palestinians southeast of Jabalia town.
The Israeli occupation aircraft also launched a series of raids on neighborhoods in Gaza City, and detonated a number of houses in the Abu Al-Jidyan roundabout area in Beit Lahia, north of the Strip, in conjunction with targeting the area with artillery shelling.
Earlier, four Palestinians were killed and eight others were injured when the Israeli occupation aircraft bombed a house and a gathering of Palestinians in Gaza City.
Medical sources reported that three Palestinians were killed and five others were injured when occupation aircraft bombed a house in the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of the city.
A Palestinian was also killed and three others were injured when the Israeli occupation forces bombed a gathering of people in the Sabra neighborhood, south of the city.
In addition, the Israeli occupation forces burned an ambulance in front of the gate of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, noting that the Israeli occupation forces had fired at the same vehicle and put it out of service a few days ago. The Israeli occupation forces also burned a house next to the hospital.
The Israeli occupation tanks fired shells and bullets northwest of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, while the Israeli forces continued to blow up a number of residential buildings in the Al-Janina neighborhood east of the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
The strong winds accompanied by rain led to the drowning and uprooting of a large number of displaced people’s tents, especially near the shores of the Gaza Strip.

Three Palestinians were killed and others were injured on Friday in Israeli shelling of the Gaza Strip.
Wafa news correspondents reported that the Israeli occupation forces targeted a number of Palestinians north of the new camp in Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip, which led to the death of one citizen and the injury of two others, while two citizens were killed in an Israeli occupation bombing south of Gaza City.
This follows a massacre yesterday evening in the Nuseirat camp, which resulted in the killing of 33 Palestinian citizens and the injury of dozens by a US-funded bomb dropped by a US-funded Israeli warplane.
In their roundup of the last couple of days, the Electronic Intifada reported:
Israel’s campaign of systematic slaughter, forced displacement, destruction and starvation in north Gaza is now in its tenth week, while airstrikes and massacres are being carried out across all areas of the coastal enclave.
Palestinians in north Gaza endured more rounds of forced displacement this past week, as Israeli forces ordered approximately 5,500 people sheltering in schools in Beit Lahiya to go to Gaza City.
Journalist Ibrahim al-Khalili reported from north Gaza as people were forced to leave, amidst Israeli tank shelling, on 5 December. The United Nations says that about 8,000 people have been forcibly displaced to Gaza City from the northern areas since the end of November.
On 11 December, an Israeli attack in Beit Lahiya killed at least 20 people living in the multi-story home of the Abu Tarabish family. On Tuesday, the Israeli army bombed a residential building in Beit Hanoun, in the corner of northeastern Gaza, killing 25 people and injuring dozens more.
The Gaza government media office stated that “the occupation army knew that this residential building contained dozens of displaced civilians, and that the majority of them were children and women who were displaced from their homes and civilian residential neighborhoods.”
In Beit Lahiya, Israeli forces carried out a series of massacres in and near the Kamal Adwan hospital in the last several days.
Funeral of a large number of martyrs after Israeli shelling targeted a residential area in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip:
The Israeli occupation forces have continued their aggression on the Gaza Strip by land, sea and air since October 7, 2023, resulting in the killing of 44,875 citizens, the majority of whom are women and children, and the injury of 106,454 others, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of victims are still under the rubble and in the streets, and ambulance and rescue crews cannot reach them.
