As the ground invasion of northern Gaza enters its fourth day, the occupying forces are escalating their ground and air operations, targeting civilians and infrastructure in an attempt to impose more control.
The occupation forces imposed a siege on the city of Jabalia and the towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, amidst intensive shelling and the demolition of homes.
The Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported that the "Israeli" army is imposing a tight siege, and is shooting at anyone who moves; forcing citizens to be forcibly displaced towards the southern part of the Strip.

Obstructing the evacuation of patients from northern Gaza
A health ministry official in Gaza stated on Wednesday that the occupation army is obstructing the evacuation of patients through searches and arrests, despite its warning to evacuate hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip.
Maher Shamiya, Undersecretary of the Health Ministry in Gaza, explained that the security deterioration in the northern Gaza Strip, and the occupation’s breach of the understandings reached with international mediators regarding the evacuation of sick children from Kamal Adwan Hospital, are obstructing the evacuation operations.
He added to the Anatolia Agency that international organizations coordinated with the army to evacuate 5 children, but it stopped the ambulances and subjected them to lengthy inspections.
He pointed out that 37 patients are staying in Kamal Adwan Hospital, 7 of whom are in intensive care, in addition to about 30 patients in the Indonesian Hospital; which makes their transfer difficult.
