Palestinian armed groups claimed to have launched 33 attacks against Israeli forces in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, the most attacks claimed by Palestinian fighters in a single day of the war in 2024.

• Washington, DC-based think tanks the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and the Critical Threats Project (CTP) said the “unusually high number of attacks” reported on Monday demonstrate that Palestinian armed groups remain “combat effective and retain a significant force presence” beyond just Rafah in Gaza’s south.

• “Hamas has exploited Israeli withdrawals from the northern Gaza Strip to begin reconstituting there, which has in turn led Israeli forces to return to areas to re-clear them,” the ISW and CTP said in their latest battlefield assessment.
• “Hamas and the other Palestinian militias will almost certainly resume their reconstitution efforts in these neighbourhoods after Israeli forces complete their current clearing operations,” the think tanks said.
