Five Israeli soldiers were killed in an incident in Jabalia, northern Gaza, on Wednesday, marking one of the deadliest incidents since the war began in October. Israeli tank fire mistakenly hit the troops, who had re-entered the town on Monday after previously pulling out. The incident occurred amidst intensified fighting in Jabalia and Rafah, where tens of thousands of civilians have fled since Saturday. The UN reports 600,000 Palestinians have fled Rafah and another 100,000 have been newly displaced in the north, highlighting the escalating humanitarian crisis.
