The Israeli occupation forces have been conducting a military operation since Monday aimed at emptying Beit Hanoun and eastern Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip from Palestinians, sources confirmed to Al Mayadeen.
The sources pointed out that Israeli military vehicles are still stationed near the Abu Safiya area, east of Jabalia, and in Beit Hanoun.
According to the sources, Israeli military vehicles are advancing toward accommodation centers in Beit Hanoun and continue to besiege hundreds of displaced people in the Mahdia al-Shawwa school since Monday evening.
The sources confirmed that Israeli occupation forces retreated from around the Ghazi al-Shawwa school and nearby houses after detaining dozens of Palestinian youths, forcing several women to remove their hijabs during the inspection process, and forcibly displacing them from the area.
In the same context, several Palestinian citizens were forcibly displaced from a shelter south of the town, the sources said, adding that the Israeli occupation troops forced all families present in Beit Hanoun to evacuate and detained a number of youths amid intense artillery shelling, airstrikes, and heavy gunfire.
Earlier on Tuesday, a number of Palestinians were martyred and others were injured after the Israeli warplanes bombed a mosque west of Jabalia camp, while Israeli military vehicles raided Beit Hanoun.
Local sources reported communication and internet disruption in Beit Hanoun coinciding with the Israeli incursion.
