Two killed, others injured in Israeli strike on tent north of Gaza

GAZA, April 24, 2025 (WAFA) – An Israeli drone strike on Thursday night killed two civilians and injured others at the Saftawi junction, north of Gaza City, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that the occupation forces conducted a strike that targeted a tent sheltering civilians who had fled ongoing fighting in other parts of the Gaza Strip at the junction, killing two and injuring others.

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 1,928 with over 5,055 others wounded, according to medical sources. Emergency teams are attempting to recover victims still trapped beneath the rubble.

Since the dawn hours of Thursday, Israeli airstrikes have killed 52 civilians, including 39 in Gaza City and the northern 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 51,355 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 117,248 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.
