Tank Advance at Al Atatra Junction
Israeli tanks advanced towards Al Atatra Junction in the Beit Lahia area of North Gaza during overnight operations. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), a quadcopter dropped incendiary munitions that set civilian tents ablaze. The immediate threat forced approximately 30 households—totaling an estimated 150 people—to flee the area. Six households remained permanently displaced after forces installed cement blocks marking military zones.
