The usage of the word “refugee camp” calls to mind tent cities set up as temporary housing measures. Jabalia Camp was established in 1948.
These are Gazans who did not evacuate to the south, and Hamas do not differentiate between their reporting of their armed members and civilians, so some of the 50 reported may have been involved in active combat.
