GAZA, March 26, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli airstrikes targeting the central Gaza Strip Wednesday afternoon killed 16 Palestinians and injured others, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that Israeli fighter jets pounded the vicinity of Abdullah Azzam Mosque in the camp, claiming the lives of six civilians and injuring others.

Meanwhile, the occupation forces targeted the vicinity of the al-Qassam Mosque in the refugee camp, resulting in five fatalities in addition to casualties.

This came as Israeli airstrikes targeted tents sheltering displaced people, west of al-Zawaida in the central Strip, killing two civilians, at a time when another civilian was killed and two others were injured in an airstrike near ash-Shuhada Junction in the central Strip.

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 50,183 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 113,828 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.
