The Israeli newspaper Haaretz said on Sunday that the Israeli occupation forces completely destroyed about 70% of the homes and buildings in the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, likening it to a "ghost town", after it was "one of the most crowded places in the world" before the war of extermination.

The newspaper indicated in a report on its website that "the Israeli army completely destroyed about 70% of the buildings in the Jabalia camp, during its military operation that began there on October 5, 2024."

This is the third time that the Israeli occupation forces have invaded Jabalia camp. The first was in December 2023, and the second was last May.

The newspaper pointed out that the few remaining buildings in the camp had sustained significant damage, indicating the severity and scope of the widespread destruction that had befallen the camp, likening Jabalia to a "ghost town."

Haaretz reported that what is happening in Jabalia camp comes against the backdrop of the "generals' plan", which aims to displace Palestinian citizens from the north and south of the Strip to the Shuhada Junction (Netzarim) in Gaza City.

According to the plan, the entire area north of the "Netzarim Barrier", which the occupation army established in the middle of the Gaza Strip to separate its north from its south, i.e. Gaza City and all its neighborhoods, will become a closed military zone, thus displacing all citizens in the area.

Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation has been committing genocide in Gaza, leaving nearly 153,000 martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and elderly people.

Israel, the occupying power, continues its massacres, ignoring two arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court on November 21 against its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Galant, for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Palestinians in Gaza.
