UPDATE: Israeli airstrikes across Gaza Strip kill 17 Palestinians

GAZA, March 31, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli airstrikes Monday evening killed at least 17 Palestinians across the war-torn Gaza Strip, according to WAFA correspondent.

Je said that Israeli fighter jets conducted an airstrike targeting a house belonging to the Hamada family on Yaffa Street in the at-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, claiming the lives of 10, including three children.

He added that the fatalities, one of whom was dismembered, were taken to the Arab Ahli Hospital.

Meanwhile, Israeli bombing targeted a group of people in the al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Strip, killing five.

A woman and a child were also killed following an Israeli airstrike targeting displaced persons' tents near the University College of Applied Sciences west of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza 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.

Since March 18, the death toll reached 1,001 with 2,259 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 50,357 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 114,400 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.
