Israeli airstrikes on Gaza overnight killed at least 19 Palestinians, Palestinian medics reported on Saturday, as Israeli forces pushed further into the Jabalia area, where thousands of civilians remain trapped, Reuters reported.
Residents reported that Israeli forces continued heavy bombardment of Jabalia, located in the northern part of the enclave, from both air and ground.
Israeli forces continued to push deeper into the Jabalia area on Saturday amid heavy air and ground bombing, as troops pressed on with a week-long offensive in northern Gaza.
The Israeli army launched a renewed assault on the area on 6 October, as it seemingly began to implement the so-called "general’s plan", which aims to empty northern Gaza of its 400,000 residents to make way for a "closed military zone".
The Israeli military's war jets and artillery have since been striking Jabalia, the largest refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, trapping thousands of people in their homes. The densely populated area has been encircled and besieged for a week, with no food or water coming in.
At least 220 people have been killed since the start of the operation, according to the civil defence in Jabalia.
Conceived by retired Major-General Giora Eiland, "the general's plan", which was launched in an Israeli TV campaign in September, called for the ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza, warning that those that remained would face starvation.

He stressed the need for protection, food and medical assistance for civilians, including the sick and wounded.

A United States military veteran was arrested by Israeli forces while accompanying a Palestinian farmer in a village in the West Bank, according to the International Solidarity Movement (ISM).
Michael Jacobsen was in the Palestinian village of Masafer Yatta in the Hebron governorate when he and other activists as well as Palestinian land owners were approached by Israeli soldiers on Thursday morning.
The ISM said the farmer Jacobsen was accompanying was facing "daily harassment, attacks, and invasions of his private land by Israeli settlers and occupation forces".
The soldiers demanded their identification and later Israeli police were called, who arrested Jacobsen and took him into custody at an interrogation centre.
"This interrogation center is home to the special task force created by the notorious Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. The task force was created as a response to some states, including the US, sanctioning violent settlers," the Palestinian-led ISM said in a statement shared with Middle East Eye.
