On Oct. 31, in the city of Jabalia in the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces bombed a refugee camp. 

The strike hit the densely populated refugee camp that was created shortly after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War when thousands of Palestinians were forced from or fled the land that became the New State of Israel. The camp is the largest populated in Gaza and consists of civilians who live in cramped apartments in between shops and thin roads.

According to the Israel Defense Forces they were targeting and killed senior Hamas leader Ibrahim Biari who the IDF claims was hiding behind civilians in the camp.

On Wednesday, a second strike hit the same camp killing and injuring dozens more civilians including whole families and children. The crater from the first strike has deepened and more apartment and commercial buildings have been destroyed. 

Amidst frequent communications blackouts and rubble trapping many citizens in Gaza, the death count in the refugee camp is not completely clear but more than 110 people have been killed with hundreds more injured.

Currently, the death toll in Israel is over 1,400 people, with over 9,000 dead in Palestine.
