GAZA, April 23, 2025 (WAFA) – An Israeli airstrike Wednesday evening killed two Palestinian civilians and injured others in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, according to local sources.

They said that Israeli occupation forces targeted a group of civilians in the city, resulting in two fatalities and several casualties.

Meanwhile, medical sources said that the total death toll as a result of Israeli strikes across the Strip since the dawn hours of Wednesday climbed to 37.

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 1,928 with 5,055 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 39 slain Palestinians and 105 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 51,305 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 117,096 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.
