GAZA, Sunday, August 25, 2024 (WAFA) - Several civilians were killed and injured today in an Israeli shelling targeting areas west of Gaza City.

Eyewitnesses said the occupation warplanes bombarded a residential apartment near the al-Oyoun intersection west of Gaza City, resulting in the killing of several civilians and the injury of others.

Since the start of the Israeli occupation's aerial, ground and sea aggression against the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, more than 40,334 people, mostly children and women, have been killed and over 93,356 others have been wounded. More than 10,000 people were reported missing.

Casualty data in Gaza are incomplete due to the intensive Israeli aggression, the repeated and complete interruption of communication and internet services, lack of fuel and devastated infrastructure, which render it difficult to document figures.
