On the 4th anniversary of the Palestinian Intifada, Israeli military forces invaded Jabaliya, Gaza’s largest refugee camp, leaving a trail of destruction, death and carnage. Upwards of 100 Palestinians have been killed, including at least 20 children and some 300 seriously injured in the ongoing rampage in Gaza, in an operation that the Israeli state has called “Days of Repentance”. This Israeli military operation marks the deepest incursion into the Gaza Strip in the past 4 years, illustrating the devastating reality of the ongoing illegal Israeli occupation.

Listen to an interview with Al-Jazeera’s English Gaza correspondent Laila El-Haddad, who has been reporting from Jabaliya refugee camp throughout the recent Israeli incursions. The interview provides a first hand account on the current crisis in Jabaliya, while also focusing on the growing movement throughout the world to introduce an economic boycott toward Israel.
