GAZA, April 20, 2025 (WAFA) – At least seven Palestinians were killed and several others wounded on Sunday as Israeli forces continued their indiscriminate attacks on the Gaza Strip, with the latest strikes affecting Gaza City and Khan Younis, according to local sources.

In the southern Gaza Strip, an Israeli drone strike targeted a group of farmers in the town of Abasan, east of Khan Younis, killing two people and injuring others.

Meantime, civil defense teams recovered the body of a Palestinian man, Ayesh Qudeih, from the rubble of a house in the nearby town of Khuza’a, which had been bombed by Israeli forces several days ago.

Additionally, artillery shelling by Israeli forces hit the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis, killing 23-year-old Waseem Abu Mousa.

In Gaza City, two more Palestinians were killed when an Israeli drone targeted a gathering of civilians on Wadi Al-Arayes Street in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of the city. Two others were also killed in a separate strike on Al-Shujaiya neighborhood.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 51,157 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 116,724 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.
