GAZA, March 28, 2025 (WAFA) – At least 14 Palestinian civilians were killed and several others injured late last night following an Israeli airstrike on a house in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, according to local sources.

Israeli warplanes targeted a house belonging to the Awad family on Kashkou Street in the Al-Zaytoun district, resulting in the murder of 14 people, including women and children. Several others were injured, and emergency responders are still searching the rubble for survivors and casualties.

In another airstrike, two people were killed when Israeli fighter jets targeted a gathering of civilians in the Shawka area, east of Rafah. Additionally, two people, including a child, were injured in a strike on a home belonging to the Al-Breem family in the Bani Suheila town, east of Khan Younis.

Simultaneously, massive explosions were heard in the North Gaza Governorate and in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood west of Rafah, following the demolition of residential buildings by Israeli forces. 

Witnesses also reported heavy gunfire from Israeli military vehicles in the Azbat Aed Rabbo area east of Jabalia and in the northern regions of Beit Lahiya, located in the northern Gaza Strip.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 50,208 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 113,910 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.
