Israeli airstrike kills two Palestinians, injures dozens in al-Mawasi

KHAN YOUNES, April 11, 2025 (WAFA) - An Israeli airstrike Friday evening killed two Palestinians and injured dozens in the al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younes in the southern Gaza Strip, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that an Israeli combat drone targeted a tent sheltering displaced people in the al-Mawasi area, claiming the life of a civilian.

He added that Israeli fighter jets conducted an airstrike targeting Roni Street in the same area, killing another and injuring dozens.

Meanwhile, Israeli bombing pounded a house in the al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central Strip, resulting in a number of casualties.

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 at least 1,542 with 3,940 others wounded, according to medical sources. Emergency teams are attempting to recover victims still trapped beneath the rubble.

Medical sources added that within the last 24 hours, the bodies of at least 26 slain Palestinians and 106 casualties were admitted into hospitals across the Strip.

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 50,912 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 115,981 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.
