France says it is “deeply concerned” about Israeli strikes in the northern Gaza Strip, calling for a humanitarian pause to allow aid through.
Israeli strikes have targeted Jabalia twice in two days, killing and wounding dozens, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run Palestinian territory.
Israel says it is striking key Hamas positions, and said Tuesday’s raid was a successful hit on top Hamas commander Ibrahim Biari. It has been urging civilians to leave the area for several weeks.
“France is deeply concerned about the very heavy toll on the Palestinian civilian population from the Israeli strikes against the Jabalia camp, and expresses its compassion for the victims,” the government says in a press release.
Paris reiterates a call for “an immediate humanitarian truce so that aid can reach those who need it in a sustainable, safe and adequate way.”

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
