The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said the Israeli occupation army is repeating the stages of genocide which it has begun in the Gaza Strip a year ago, as it intensified its violent bombing of areas in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, coinciding with the start of a ground incursion and the issuance of a new forced displacement map for the remaining residents of the northern Gaza Strip, declaring the start of a new stage of the war.
The Euro-Med Monitor said that the Israeli occupation army has launched more than 70 airstrikes and fire belts since 3:00 pm on Saturday, October 5, until early Sunday, in addition to the violent artillery shelling of Jabalia and its camp, Beit Lahia, and the northwest of Gaza City.
It further explained that the Israeli shelling targeted many homes, gatherings, a water distribution vehicle, and a shelter center crowded with the displaced, leading to the killing and wounding of dozens of people.
It pointed out that the Israeli occupation army began to penetrate on Saturday evening into the northwestern outskirts of Gaza City and eastern Jabalia, amidst violent fire belts, before the occupation army announced this morning that it had tightened the siege of Jabalia, which had previously witnessed several ground incursions during which dozens of massacres were carried out in it and most of its buildings and homes were destroyed.
The human rights body warned that the Israeli occupation army issued on Sunday morning several new maps, announcing on one of which the beginning of a new phase of the war, and renaming the residential blocks in Gaza and North Gaza governorates.
The Israeli occupation army ordered the remaining residents in those areas to evacuate via Rashid and Salah Al-Din streets towards an area it claimed as a humanitarian zone.
The Euro-Med expressed its concern that the new map is a prelude to Israel’s efforts to implement the “Generals’ Plan” to completely evacuate the Gaza and North Gaza Governorates to turn them into a military zone.
