The Israeli military has said that its 401st Armoured Brigade troops continue to fight “in the heart of Jabalia” in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, which has been under intense siege for many weeks, Al Jazeera reports.

Israeli soldiers “destroy terrorist infrastructure and eliminate many terrorists” in air strikes and close-quarters combat, the army has claimed, adding that its forces have also found a laboratory for making explosives inside a residence.

Many hundreds of civilians have been killed in Jabalia, as tens of thousands have been forced from their homes and starved on the streets.
