Day 376: North Gaza invasion

North Gaza 16 October, 2024
Day 12 of Israel's 3rd ground ivnasion of north Gaza. ### No sustenance for two weeks: After almost two full weeks of siege, **Beit Hanoun Municipality issued an appeal to obtain fuel** to operate water wells, sewage pumps, desalination plants and sanitation services [Source](https://x.com/HossamShabat/status/1846420541768679459). Israel started propagating false reports of allowing aid trucks in northern Gaza. Many journalists on the ground in the northern Gaza refuted these claims, clarifying that the trucks reached the southern parts of the North Gaza, but no aid was allwoed inside the beiseged areas: Jabalia Camp, Jabalia City, Jabalia Al-Nazla, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahia.

The IDF had notably fired at the administrative office of Kamal Adwan Hospital, and ordered all medical staff to leave the four operating hospitals: Kamal Adwan, the Indonesian, Al-Awda, and Al-Yemen Assaeed hospitals **Kamal Adwan hospital is filled to capacity**, with cases requiring intensive medical care being transferred to the neonatal unit due to the lack of space. There are many critical cases and even cesarean deliveries are being performed under dangerous and unsanitary conditions ### Israel's newfound method for large scale destruction of houses: Journalist Osama Abu Rabee [reported](https://x.com/dn_osama_rabee/status/1846469141017891054) on the worsening situation in Jabalia as "*explosions are getting closer to densely populated areas*" and confirmed reports the **IDF planting explosive barrels** in such areas, namely the Abu Rashid pond area and the Safi building materials warehouses. This was **corroborated** by journalist Anas Al-Sharif's report and footage from those [areas](https://x.com/AnasAlSharif0/status/1846439075651125354), as well as by a report for Al Araby TV, journalist Islam Bader ([Source](https://x.com/islambader_1988/status/1846526758872387795)): "*Israel is not conducting military operations per se, meaning they're not looking for tunnels or other such infrastructure as they often say. Rather, the IDF is conducting a limited incursion with a limited number of vehicles inside residential neighborhoods including Al-Faluja and the vicinity of Abu Rashid pond. **An armored vehicle would advance followed by a D9 bulldozer carrying boxes of explosive barrels. They would plant the explosives between houses, retreat from the area and detonate them**. This is what they did in the vicinity of different areas: Al-Faluja cemetery area, Al-Ayla mosque, Abu Rubayie bakery, An-Nour mosque, the old Al-Faluja market. The IDF did the same last night in the area between Abu Sharar and Abu Rashid pond. [...] These areas are currently inhabited and such detonations cause a large number of deaths and injuries.*" There were also reports further confirming that IDF soldiers **torched houses** in Bir Al-Naja [Source](https://x.com/AHM3D_HAMDAN/status/1846543765013471440). Journalist Younis Tirawi [uncovered](https://x.com/ytirawi/status/1846678625245872451) **pictures shared by soldiers** on social media showing them smiling while holding **molotov cocktails** inside homes in Jabalia.

Murder of Rayan Ibrahim Hasan Al-Sayed, 14 y/o, in Jenin

West Bank, Jenin 14 October, 2024
At least 1 martyred
On october 14, 2024, Israeli forces shot and killed a 14-year-old Palestinian child during a military incursion into Jenin. This documentation was gathered by [Defense for Children International - Palestine, ONG ](https://www.dci-palestine.org/israeli_forces_fatally_shoot_14_year_old_palestinian_boy_in_the_chest_and_neck): Rayan Ibrahim Hasan Al-Sayed, 14, was shot twice by an Israeli soldier positioned inside a heavily armored Israeli military vehicle from a distance of about 20 meters (66 feet) away** around 11:40 a.m. on October 14 near the entrance to the Old City of Jenin**, according to documentation collected by Defense for Children International - Palestine. Rayan was allegedly throwing stones toward heavily armored Israeli military vehicles driving through the main street when one of the vehicles stopped and a soldier inside shot him. Several young Palestinians transported Rayan in a private car to Al-Razi Hospital in Jenin. He was immediately taken into surgery to attempt to control the bleeding in his lungs, but doctors pronounced him dead around 1:45 p.m. *“Palestinian children like Rayan grow up in a hypermilitarized environment where Israeli forces regularly carry out incursions to arrest, injure, and kill Palestinians, including children,*” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, accountability program director at DCIP. *“World leaders have continually refused to hold Israeli forces accountable for killing Palestinian children with abandon, paving the way for Israeli soldiers to continue their killing spree with no consequence.”* **Rayan sustained two gunshot wounds**, one on the left side of his chest and one in the neck, according to documentation collected by DCIP. Israeli special forces entered Jenin refugee camp in civilian vehicles with Palestinian license plates around 10 a.m. on Monday and surrounded a house with wanted individuals inside. Armed Palestinians confronted the Israeli special forces, and Israeli military reinforcements, accompanied by military bulldozers, arrived shortly after. Palestinian schoolchildren were unable to reach their homes during the incursion. Students from Al-Zahra Secondary School for Girls and Burhan Al-Din Al-Abushi School for Girls, both located on the street leading to Jenin Governmental Hospital and Jenin refugee camp, were transported to Al-Noor School for the Blind, located in the Suweitat neighborhood in the eastern part of Jenin. Students from Al-Karama Primary School were transferred to a Palestinian Authority camp located in Hursh Al-Saada. **The incursion lasted until 6:30 p.m.** Israeli forces destroyed civilian infrastructure, including roads, and created a power outage in Jenin refugee camp and several nearby neighborhoods. Israeli forces injured at least four Palestinians and killed two, including Rayan. Israeli forces and settlers have killed 85 Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank in 2024, including two United States citizens, according to documentation collected by DCIP.
