GAZA, March 23, 2025 (WAFA) – At least 20 Palestinians were killed and several others injured early Sunday morning following a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting Rafah and Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
According to reports WAFA correspondents, eight people were killed and others wounded when Israeli warplanes bombed the home of the Ashour family in the Al-Jenena neighborhood in Rafah. Additionally, two others were killed in the Al-Hashaheen area of Rafah, while several were injured when an Israeli strike targeted the home of the Shaat family in the Al-Nasr neighborhood in the northern part of the city.
In Khan Younis, four Palestinians were killed and others injured when Israeli airstrikes hit a house belonging to the Abu Daqqa family in the Al-Fukhari area to the east. Two women, including a child, were killed and others injured in an Israeli strike on a house in the al-Yabani neighborhood west of the city.
Another two citizens were killed and others injured when an Israeli airstrike hit a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area, while two more were killed and several injured in an airstrike on the home of the Al-Agha family in the northern part of the city.
In Gaza City, four Palestinians were injured when Israeli airstrikes targeted a home in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood to the east of the city. The injured were transferred to the Arab Hospital in Gaza City for treatment.
Earlier last night, a young girl was killed and several others were injured in an Israeli airstrike on the eastern part of Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
WAFA correspondents reported that Israeli warplanes targeted a house in the Al-Fukhari area, east of Khan Younis, resulting in the killing of 6-year-old Lilian Jihad Abu Daqah and injuries to several others.
Since Israel’s resumption of its genocidal war on Gaza early Tuesday morning, the ongoing assault has resulted in nearly 600 people killed and over a thousand injured by Thursday evening, with 70% of the casualties being women, children, and elderly.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 49,747 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 113,213 others injured.
Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.
Israel's genocidal attacks continue unabated despite calls from the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
