Israel army amps up intimidation tactics in Gaza: report
According to Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, civilians who managed to flee Jabalia in northern Gaza and move to Gaza City have been subjected to Israeli intimidation tactics.
The contacted civilians said that the Israeli army surrounded evacuation centres and shelters, and forced men to separate from women, taking them to other locations in the north.
They added that the Israeli army dug huge holes in the ground and forced women to jump inside. Israeli tanks later started to move around these holes, throwing up huge amounts of dust as a sort of intimidation tactic, according to the reporter.
Later, the Israeli forces gave the women a short amount of time to flee to Gaza City while horrific Israeli attacks were ongoing in nearby areas.
The report added that over 150 Palestinians were reportedly detained in the northern parts of Gaza and taken to Israel.
