GAZA, May 9, 2025 (WAFA) — A Palestinian fisherman was killed and another injured on Friday morning after Israeli naval forces opened fire on a fishing boat off the coast of northern Gaza, according to local sources.
The fishermen were targeted while working in the waters off Gaza City. One of them succumbed to his injuries at the scene, while the other was transported to a hospital with moderate wounds.
In a related development, a 45-year-old Palestinian woman, Amal Hussein Al-Najjar, died from wounds she sustained a week ago in an Israeli airstrike on the southern city of Khan Younis.
Additionally, 22-year-old Ahmad Al-Sayyed Salout was pronounced dead after succumbing to critical injuries he sustained three months ago when Israeli forces bombed his family home in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 52,760 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 119,264 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.
