According to the Abu Ali Express outlet, children in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza are playing in a stream that formed after the IDF poured concrete to seal Hamas tunnels. The report is based on local accounts and has not been independently verified.
Tonight, the Abu Ali Express outlet reported that children in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza are playing in a stream of water that formed after the IDF poured concrete to seal Hamas tunnels. The report, based on local accounts and unverified by an official Israeli source, adds a human dimension to an incident that has been unfolding since Sunday evening.
On Sunday at 22:43 Jerusalem, Gaza-based users via Abu Ali Express first reported that the IDF was pouring large amounts of concrete southeast of the camp, causing overflow into nearby homes and raising fears of sewage blockage. Within the same hour, the outlet added that the concrete was sealing a tunnel and flooding roads. The initial reports were attributed to local accounts without independent verification. Earlier today at 15:16 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published a bulletin summarizing the known details of the tunnel-sealing operation and the resulting road flooding. The thread's sources have consistently been local Gaza accounts cited by Abu Ali Express, with no on-record IDF confirmation.
The Zioneer has previously reported on IDF demolition operations in Gaza, including an explosive demolition in the northwestern Strip on Tuesday, June 16, 2026. The concrete-pouring operation in Al-Maghazi appears consistent with efforts to neutralize underground Hamas infrastructure in central Gaza, an area where The Zioneer also reported IDF strikes on Hamas targets on June 10.
No official IDF statement has been issued addressing either the flooding or the children's activity. The composition of the floodwater — which may contain concrete residue, debris, or sewage — remains unknown, as do any immediate safety assessments.
