Israeli forces have ramped up their military actions in the northern Gaza Strip, targeting the Jabalia area with renewed intensity, according to local residents and medical staff.

Reports confirmed that Israeli troops have besieged homes and displaced individuals seeking refuge in schools and shelters. Medics from the Indonesian Hospital described a grim scene where a school was stormed, men detained, and the facility set on fire, leading to a power outage affecting hospital operations.

As the humanitarian crisis deepens in Gaza, international calls for intervention persist, with the United Nations expressing grave concern over the impact on civilian lives. The ongoing conflict has left thousands dead and millions homeless, putting immense stress on the region's already frail infrastructure.
