Gaza, North Gaza
04 December, 2024
At least 6 martyred
Day 61 of Israel's third ground invasion of the North Gaza governorate.
Following a **night-long concentrated assault on Beit Lahia schools**, Israeli forces **expelled** displaced persons out of the shelters. About 20,000 people are estimated to have been forcibly displaced as schools typically shelter about 5,000 persons.
Yet, Israeli forces continued harming Palestinians complying with the forced displacement and abiding to the designated "safe passage" on Salah al-Din Street. Civilians and journalists reported and shared footage of **Israeli forces shooting towards the displacement trail and sending drones to drop grenades over or near them**.
Journalist Hossam Shabat shared his own [testimony](https://x.com/HossamShabat/status/1864310183565967762): "*A short while ago, I was documenting the displacement of the people of Beit Lahia, when the occupation forces opened heavy fire on the displaced people. What I saw was similar to the horrors of the Day of Judgment. Children running in panic, mothers leaving everything they owned behind, and the elderly sitting on the roads while bullets whizzed over their heads. In the midst of all this, a little girl screamed looking for her injured sister, and children cried waiting for their fathers who were captured by the occupation army. A scene beyond description.*"
