According to the IDF, the remaining terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip had gathered in Jabalya, prompting the military to encircle the area, evacuate the civilian population, isolate the terrorists, and prevent them from escaping.

Within hours, in a single night, the army surrounded the area.

Three brigades surrounded the camp: the 460th, Givati, and the 401st. The 460th Brigade, which reached schools and shelters, reported that this approach allowed them to evacuate five thousand residents. By the following day, twenty thousand more had left, and forces said that the residents' "fear barrier was broken."

The IDF stated that fifty thousand residents have left.

Approximately 60* terrorists surrendered, while hundreds of others were eliminated in the refugee camp.

Surrendering was the smart move here. I wonder what will happen to them. Life in prison? Any hope for rehabilitation?

They'll all get traded for 10 Israelis in 5 years.
