Jabalia Refugee Camp Massacre

The Israeli forces carried out a new massacre in the Jabalia refugee camp, resulting in the martyrdom of 69 Palestinians, in addition to dozens of wounded. The streets of Jabalia camp for refugees turned into a fierce battleground between the Israeli occupation forces and Palestinian resistance fighters from various factions. After the Israeli forces ended their brutal aggression on Jabalia, which was ordered by Sharon and his Defense Minister Mofaz, the camp's streets became deserted, shops closed, buildings collapsed, and sidewalks shattered and submerged in water after being hit by shells. Everything was shattered and destroyed, except for the morale of the residents, which reached the clouds (85,000 refugees).


The Israeli occupation forces had attempted to invade the camp since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, but they couldn't enter the areas claimed by Israel to have wanted individuals. In the first invasion of the camp on March 13, 2002, 27 Palestinians were martyred at its northern entrance. This was followed by another invasion on March 17, 2003, from the southern entrance, resulting in the martyrdom of 25 citizens. This is the third massacre that the camp has endured since the start of the Al-Aqsa Intifada.
