The IDF has poured concrete in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, with footage from Monday morning showing the material overflowing into camp streets. Residents speculate the operation is meant to seal underground tunnels, according to the local channel Abu Ali Express. This follows a series of reports from Sunday evening — all dated Sun 22:43 Jerusalem — in which Gazan users first described large concrete pours southeast of the camp causing spillage into nearby homes and concerns over sewage blockage. The Zioneer covered that initial report at 00:51 Monday. The latest footage, showing concrete in the camp itself, represents an expansion of the activity from the camp's periphery into its residential core. The purpose remains unconfirmed by IDF sources, and the scope — whether targeting a specific tunnel network or broader infrastructure — is still unclear.
The Al-Maghazi area has been a site of repeated Israeli ground and engineering operations throughout the current campaign. The Zioneer has previously reported on IDF engineering activity in Gaza, including the deployment of concrete barriers in northwest Rafah on Thu Jun 4 and explosives demolitions in northwestern Gaza on Tue Jun 16. However, the pouring of flowing concrete in a populated camp represents a distinct operational method from those earlier reports.
It remains unverified whether the concrete is indeed targeting tunnels — residents' speculation has not been corroborated by official sources. The full scope of the operation, including whether additional areas may be affected, also remains unclear.
