**On october 17**, at lunch time, Israel struck the UNRWA-run Abu Hussein Boys' Primary School. Like all schools in the Gaza Strip, this school was turned into a shelter for displaced Palestinians. According to [Anas al-Sharif](https://x.com/AnasAlSharif0/status/1846889080866722204), most of the martyrs and wounded transferred to Al-Awda and Kamal Adwan hospitals were women and children. Fires are still burning in the Abu Hussein School accommodation center, in the middle of Jabalia camp, due to the inability of the civil defense to access it due to repeated Israeli artillery bombardments on the school. The strike happened as displaced people gathered to take their lunch [Source](https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/at-least-22-killed-in-israeli-strike-on-school-sheltering-displaced-gazans/3365344) and consequently resulted in mass casualties with initial reports indicating 15 civilians were killed. The death toll rose quickly to **[24 killed and 150 injuries](https://x.com/Sa7atPlBreaking/status/1846976690624274548)** **[Testimony](https://x.com/jjjjwza/status/1846887083631100163) of Dr. Abdallah Mohammed :** *"Dozens of martyrs and hundreds of wounded arrive successively at Kamal Adwan hospital following a massacre in an accommodation center... while the health system completely collapses following the continuation of the siege of Jabalia camp for the 13th consecutive day".* **Note :** It's not the first time, Abu Hussein school was targeted.

**On October 16**, in the morning, Israeli army, during its ground invasion of Lebanon, detonates a village in southern Lebanon, claiming to target a tunnel built by the Hezbollah. ## Location : Even if the Israeli spokesperson Avichay Adraee claimed the location was Nabatieh, the actual Location, **is the village of Mhaybib**, according to several Lebanese media outlets, Al Jazeera, and journalist Timour Azhari, head of Reuters' Baghdad bureau. Mhaybib is located between Mais el-Jabal and Blida, about two kilometers from the Blue Line in the Marjayoun district. Seen from approx. 33.1587, 35.5173 Detonation starts at 33.15565, 35.50575  ## Details of the Explosion: Israeli Army publish a drone footage of this devastation of an entire village showing multiple explosions engulfing Mhaybib in thick smoke. The Israeli army alleged it was destroying a tunnel network used by Hezbollah’s elite al-Radwan unit, stating the tunnel ran beneath civilian homes. There is further footage showing IDF soldiers causing the massive explosion and exulting in what appears to be a war crime, gleefully filmed by Israel for the world to see. PlanetScope imagery from @planet shows the village of Mhaibib in southern Lebanon before and after it was demolished by the IDF. Before imagery is September 24, after imagery is October 16. The [surface of the destruction](https://x.com/JakeGodin/status/1846606748599099670) covers almost the entire village. ## Related Events: On Oct. 9 and 10, Hezbollah claimed attacks on Israeli forces advancing near Mais el-Jabal and Mhaybib. Israeli army has gained partial control of Mais el-Jabal and Blida, despite Hezbollah's retaliatory strikes. ## Cultural cleansing : Mhaybib houses a maqam dedicated to the biblical figure Benjamin, associated with the Old Testament. ## Previous Israeli "evacuation order" : **On 6 October 2024**, the Israeli army issues an [evacuation order ](https://x.com/MenaToday1/status/1842890955499679981)including this village. The Israeli army’s Arabic-speaking spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, via social media platform X (formerly Twitter) called for the evacuation of residents from around 20 villages in southern Lebanon, specifically in the Bint Jbeil and Marjeyoun districts. The evacuation precedes planned operations targeting "Hezbollah installations." *"Hezbollah's activities force the IDF to act against it. The IDF does not want to harm you, and for your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately. Anyone who is near Hezbollah members, installations and weapons is putting his life in danger. Any home Hezbollah uses it for its military needs and is expected to be targeted. You must immediately head north of the Awali River to save your lives. Evacuate your homes immediately.Be careful, you are not allowed to go south. Going south could put your life in danger." **False promises of return** The evacuation order also promised that resident would return home at the end of the military operations "We will let you know when it is safe to return home."* **The villages Affected:** List of Villages: Houla, Meis el-Jabal, Blida, Mhaybib, Chakra, Baraachit, Majdel Selm, Qabrikha, Kounine, Beit Yahoun, Jmeijmé, Tir, Bani Hayane, Tamriyé, Touline, Deir Seriane, Qoussayr, Bafliyé, Jabal el-Adas, Bayad, Sarbine, Bourj Rahal, Aïn Baal, Rachidiyé, Hanniyé. The residents are instructed to immediately evacuate and move north of the Awali River, located north of Saida (Sidon).

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. Sources [1](https://x.com/AnasAlSharif0/status/1846626226951409921) [2](https://x.com/islambader_1988/status/1846565281147052455) ### Strain on healthcare system: The Ministry of Health **denounced Israel's actions to undermine the healthcare infrastructure** in north Gaza and cause its collapse. 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.
