Israeli forces launched an invasion in Jabalia town, in the north of Gaza Strip, in the early hours of Friday morning.

Eyewitnesses reported that a huge number of Israeli military vehicles, backed by massive armored bulldozers, invaded the area while firing heavily. The army established control over a petrol station in the area and turned it to a military base.

Eyewitnesses added that bulldozers established mounds of earth near the petrol station and are currently sweeping the area.

Local sources reported that in a separate operation on Thursday night, Israeli military forces committed two savage crimes; one in Khan Younis, in the south of Gaza Strip and the other in Jenin, where 7 Palestinian were killed and tens of Palestinians were injured, in addition to the abductions of a number of civilians.
