GAZA, April 25, 2025 (WAFA) – Five members of the same family were killed early Friday morning when Israeli forces bombed their tent shelter in the Al-Mawasi area to the west of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

According to WAFA correspondent, the airstrike targeted the tent of the Abu Taimah family, resulting in the killing of a man, his pregnant wife, and their three children.

Additionally, a 3-year-old child died from severe burns following a fire that broke out in a separate tent in the same area.

Israeli artillery also shelled the Qizan al-Rashwan neighborhood, southwest of Khan Younis, according to local sources.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 51,355 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 117,248 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.
