GAZA CITY, October 9 (IslamOnline.net) – An aerial footage of the northern Gaza Strip Jabaliya refugee camp looks like a picturesque mosaic ceiling of colored stones and glass though the naked eye can see nothing but destruction and blood.

The denizens of the battered camp, the largest in the Gaza Strip, proved their mettle in the bloody Israeli incursion into their homeland, which entered its eleventh straight day.

They are busy covering the streets, alleys and homes of the camp with whatever reaches their hands of cloth, blankets and bed sheets to jam Israeli drones and protect their fellow resistance fighters.

Israeli unmanned and state-of-art planes are heavily used in the running raid into the Gaza Strip to pinpoint the locations of resistance fighters and assassinate them with satellite-directed missiles.

The latest operation killed on October 5 a military commander with Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad.

The massive Israeli incursion has plunged the Gaza Strip again in scenes of anguish. Intensely emotional pictures keep unfolding day in and day out.

Four Palestinians, including two teenagers and a nine-year-old girl, were killed by Israeli gunfire in Jabaliya, brining to 98 the number of Palestinians killed since the Israeli occupation troops launched their offensive on September 28.

Unique Unity

Nizar Rayyan, a Hamas leader in the besieged camp, appealed to the inhabitants to cover the largest possible part of the streets and alleys with cloth.

The move has, in effect, materialized a unique unity between resistance fighters and lay people, both facing the Israeli military juggernaut.

Piles of blankets and cloth have been strewn across the streets, noticeably in Al-Sekka, Tel Kalibou, Tel Zaatar, and Beit Lahya streets, where resistance operations against the Israeli occupation soldiers have gained momentum.

In times of war, necessity is indeed the mother of invention for all Palestinians.

They come up with creative methods to obstruct Israeli reconnaissance operations and resist the ground occupation troops.

They set fire to tires, sending towering columns of black smoke to the sky, making the job difficult for the drones.

"The Israeli occupation has embarked recently on using drones in what it calls ‘targeted assassinations’ instead of the Apache helicopters," Popular Resistance Committee Spokesman Abu Abeer told IslamOnline.net.

"They strike their target precisely, thanks to its sophisticated equipment and weaponry."

Israeli Yediot Ahranot newspaper reported on October 3 that the Israeli air force had developed a drone equipped with missiles and bombs in cooperation with a US company.
