October strikes

9 October

Following Israeli airstrikes on other areas of Gaza, internally displaced Gazans fled to the Jabaliya camp.^[7] At the time of the attack, the market was completely full, with customers and vendors stocking up on goods.^[7] The airstrike hit the al-Trans area of the Jabalia market, one of the most populated areas of Jabaliya.^[10][11][12] Survivors of the attack, speaking to France 24, stated that the airstrike "hit in the heart of the market", and in the immediate aftermath, there were many dead. Many of the bodies were unable to be recovered in the days following the airstrike, due to a lack of equipment.^[13]

A rescue worker speaking to the New York Times stated that the death toll was over sixty people killed, and the entire market and surrounding buildings were destroyed.^[7] Gaza's health ministry declined to give a full estimate, but reported "dozens" of dead and wounded.^[14] Gaza's interior ministry also claimed that the airstrike initially targeted a residential building belonging to the Abu Eshkayyah family.^[15]

The Israeli government claimed that the Jabalia airstrike targeted elements of Hamas located in a mosque in the Jabalia camp.^[16] Zdroj:https://en.wikipedia.org?pojem=Jabalia_refugee_camp_airstrikes_(2023–2024)
