GAZA, March 24, 2025 (WAFA) – Four Palestinian civilians were killed and others injured Monday evening in renewed Israeli airstrikes on the city of Khan Younes in the southern Gaza Strip, according to WAFA correspondent.
He reported that Israeli warplanes bombed a house belonging to the al-Najjar family in the Qizan al-Najjar area, south of the city, killing four civilians and wounding others, including children.
The casualties were transferred to Nasser Medical Hospital in the city.
Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes conducted an airstrike targeting a house in the downtown part of Khan Younis, claiming the life of a civilian, at a time when another airstrike targeted tents sheltering displaced persons in the Batn as-Sameen area, west of the city, resulting in several casualties.
Medical sources announced that the ongoing Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip have resulted in the killing of over 50 civilians since the dawn hours of Monday.
Earlier this evening, Israeli bombardment killed separately Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent Hussam Shabat in the northern Gaza Strip as well as Mohammad Mansour, a reporter for Palestine Today TV, in the Al-Batin Al-Sameen area, south of Khan Younis.
Israel unilaterally ended the Gaza ceasefire agreement and resumed its aggression on the Strip on Tuesday, March 18, carrying out a wave of bloody airstrikes across the Strip and killing hundreds of Palestinians, including over 100 children.
The death toll reached 506 with 909 others wounded, according to medical sources. Emergency teams are attempting to recover victims still trapped beneath the rubble.
The aggression was resumed amidst concerns over the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Strip given the ongoing siege and ban on the entry of medical and humanitarian aid.
Israel has waged a military onslaught on the Strip since October 2023, killing 50,082 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 113,408 others.
Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
