The insurgency in the northern Gaza Strip was an armed conflict centered in the North Gaza Governorate, beginning after Israel announced it had dismantled 12 Al-Qassam Brigades battalions on 7 January 2024, as part of the Israel–Hamas war.[20][21][22]

Several Palestinian militant groups, led by Hamas, began resurging in territories formerly cleared by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), after 4 months of bombardment and 3 months of ground invasion.
