Gaza: IDF expands humanitarian zone in south, as Jabaliya in north is encircled in new ground op including waves of airstrikes and artillery shells A few nuggests from the Times of Israel October 6th liveblog, and others: IDF launches fresh ground op in Gaza’s Jabaliya as Hamas tries to regroupThe IDF’s 162nd Division launched a new ground operation last night in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya, the military says. The IDF says the division’s 401st and 460th armored brigades encircled Jabaliya overnight, and troops are currently operating in the area. The operation comes after the IDF says it has intelligence of Hamas operatives and infrastructure in the Jabaliya area, alongside efforts by the terror group to reestablish itself there. As troops entered the area, the IDF says, it carried out a wave of airstrikes and artillery shelling, targeting dozens of Hamas sites in Jabaliya, including weapon depots, tunnels, cells of operatives, and other infrastructure. “The operation will continue as long as necessary, while systematically striking and thoroughly destroying the terror infrastructure in the area,” the IDF says. The 162nd Division was withdrawn from Rafah and the Philadelphi Corridor — the Egypt-Gaza border area — after five months, and it has handed over responsibility for the area to the IDF’s Gaza Division. IDF says it is expanding humanitarian zone ahead of plans to evacuate all of northern Gaza The IDF announces that it is expanding the size of the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in southern Gaza, as it prepares to evacuate civilians from the entire north of the Strip. The zone, where the vast majority of the Gazan population currently resides, has multiple field hospitals and most humanitarian aid is being delivered there. The IDF says it has published maps for Palestinian civilians “highlighting potential evacuation areas in northern Gaza, including ‘block zones’ that correspond to neighborhoods and regions.” The military says it is also opening up two evacuation routes for Palestinians, along the Salah a-Din road and the coastal road. Some 200,000 Palestinians have been estimated to remain in northern Gaza, after early in the war the IDF called for the entire region to evacuate to the Strip’s south. IDF says it struck terror command centers in Gaza mosque, school, took steps to not harm civilians The Israeli military says warplanes conducted a pinpoint strike a short while ago on terror operatives who were at a command center in a compound that formerly housed the Ibn Rushd school in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza strip. Additionally, the IDF says another pinpoint airstrike targeted a second Hamas control center in Deir al-Balah, located in the former site of the Shuhada al-Aqsa mosque — where Hamas medical officials have claimed 5 were killed and 20 injured. The command centers were used by Hamas to plan and carry out terror attacks against IDF forces and the State of Israel, the army says. IDF says it struck Hamas command and control post within former UNRWA compound The IDF says it carried out a “targeted” airstrike on operatives at Hamas command and control center within a former UNRWA compound in the northern Gaza Strip’s Jabaliya. According to a military statement, Hamas used the facility to plan and launch attacks against Israel and Israeli forces in Gaza. The statement says the IDF took some measures to reduce civilian casualties.
