The IDF is currently preparing for a raid in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, and as a result, began a large-scale evacuation operation of the civilian population from the area. The purpose of the operation is to dismantle Hamas' attempt to return to the area. The IDF estimates that there are between 100,000-150,000 Palestinians in Jabaliyah. At the same time, the IDF is operating in the Zeitoun neighborhood south of Gaza City, and is set to discover explosives, mainly in schools, and uncover additional combat tunnels. Also, the IDF's announcement of the expansion of its Rafah operation follows intelligence concerning Hamas infrastructure in the area. (Yoav Zitun)
