DISPLACED Gaza Strip residents largely entered the new year on Wednesday shivering in tent camps or taking refuge in schools-turned-shelters as Israel’s war with Hamas neared its 16th month.
At least five people were killed in an Israeli strike in northern Gaza before dawn in the city of Jabalia, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense, an emergency service overseen by the Hamas-run Interior Ministry, which does not distinguish between militants and civilians in its reporting.
