Palestinian medics said that 13 bodies were received at Al-Awda Hospital in Jabalia city following an Israeli attack on a gathering of Palestinians in the Abu Qamar station area. Dozens of injured individuals were also transferred to the hospital.

“For your safety, you must evacuate these areas immediately to the newly created humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi through Salah al-Din Street,” it added.
