The IDF claimed Hamas was regrouping in the area as it launched a new ground operation, forcing people to flee.
As attention shifts to Lebanon after Israeli forces escalated their attacks on the Hezbollah militant group, Israel continues to operate across Gaza and is again focusing on an area it previously said was rid of Hamas.
In a statement, the military said it had detected the presence of Hamas members there, as well as efforts by them "to rebuild its operational capabilities in the area," and was moving forward with the operation to "dismantle". The Israeli military issued a fresh evacuation order for residents in northern Gaza, adding it had expanded the scope of the "humanitarian area" in Al-Mawasi.
Jabalya is home to Palestinians who have been displaced multiple times during the Israel-Gaza conflict. The camp has already been targeted by the Israel Defence Forces several times during the war. "The mosque was a shelter for displaced people, there are no militants or anything inside," said Nabil Nadda, who was nearby when the strike happened.The Israeli military confirmed it was carrying out strikes on both sites, calling them "precise" and said they were targeting Hamas "command and control" centres.
