The operation is focused on the Balata Refugee Camp in the eastern part of the city.

Last night, Israeli armoured vehicles began pouring into the camp from two different directions. They quickly moved towards the market area of the camp. Infantry then dismounted and began raiding residential buildings and evacuating the civilian population. An Israeli reconnaissance drone was seen flying through one of the alleyways of the camp, likely searching for Palestinian militants.

Reinforcements continued to be sent into the camp and were deployed throughout it, in preparation for clearing operations. Arrests were carried out shortly afterwards, with Palestinian men being taken out of their homes.

Small-scale protests were seen in one part of the camp, but interestingly no armed resistance. This could either suggest that the remaining Palestinian militants are hiding, or are trying to escape, blending in with the civilian population.

Last night, Russian Geran-2 drones attacked Druzhkivka, Donetsk Oblast.

At least one impact was recorded within the city limits.

Russian Geran-2 drones attacked Slovyansk and Kramatorsk last night. Explosions were heard in both cities, with at least two impacts being recorded.

Additionally, two Gerans flew to the village of Serhiivka, southwest of Kramatorsk. One impacted a derelict hotel building, and the other hit outside the village.

A drone of an unknown type was spotted over Sumy Oblast yesterday afternoon. It seems to be flying relatively fast.
