On the morning of May 18th, the Israel Defense Forces issued a statement saying that the Israeli army continued to carry out military operations in Gebali, the central part of the Gaza Strip and the eastern part of Rafah, the southern city of the Gaza Strip, hitting more than 70 targets of Palestinian armed groups in the past day.
Israeli warplanes launched air strikes.
The death toll continues to rise.
According to Xinhua News Agency on May 18, the Israeli military issued a statement on the evening of May 17, saying that Israeli warplanes launched air strikes on a refugee camp in the West Bank city of Jenin that day.
Recently, the Israeli army rarely dispatched fighter planes to carry out air strikes on the West Bank, and many Israeli media described the air strikes as "rare". The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on the same day that one Palestinian was killed and five others were injured in the air strike.
According to CCTV news, on May 17th, local time, the Israeli army continued its military operations in the Gebali-Yeh area in the northern Gaza Strip. According to Israeli media, the recent fighting in Gebali is one of the "fiercest" battles since the outbreak of this round of conflict.
On May 17th, local time, the IDF issued a notice saying that in the past week, the 7th Armored Brigade of the Israeli Army killed about 60 Palestinian militants in close combat in the Gebali area in the northern Gaza Strip. The Israeli army also launched dozens of air strikes, blowing up many targets. The Israeli paratroopers brigade also carried out operations in the Gebali area, found a warehouse with rockets and explosives, and arrested 20 armed men in a nearby shelter.
According to local Israeli media quoted Israeli military sources, the recent fighting in the Gebali area is one of the fiercest battles since the outbreak of the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict. At present, the actions of the Israeli army are mainly concentrated in the hinterland of Gebali Yeh refugee camp. There are many narrow lanes in the refugee camp, which hinder the movement of armored vehicles such as military tanks. Palestinian militants hide in ground buildings and underground tunnels and constantly launch attacks on Israeli troops.
On May 17th, Hamas released a video of militants of the organization recently attacking Israeli combat troops in Gebali and eastern Rafah. The video shows that armed men in Hamas attacked Israeli tanks and bulldozers several times by ambush and using anti-tank weapons.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Jehad) issued a statement on May 18th local time, saying that an Israeli air strike on a residential building in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank of the Palestinian Jordan River resulted in the death of a commander of the quds force Jenin camp, an armed wing of the organization.
The statement condemned the Israeli army’s attack on residential buildings, causing civilian casualties in refugee camps. This is the continuation of the Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip in the West Bank, and it is an intolerable "war crime". The statement said that the use of the air force to carry out assassination was a dangerous development, and the attack confirmed that the Israeli army had escalated its operations in the West Bank.
According to Palestinian media reports, after the air raid, the local Palestinian people in Jenin launched a large-scale demonstration to protest the Israeli air raid.
