GAZA, May 13, 2025 (WAFA) – An Israeli strike on Tuesday evening killed two Palestinians and injured others to the west of Khan Younes in the southern Gaza Strip, according to WAFA correspondent.
He said that Israeli fighter jets conducted an airstrike targeting a tent sheltering displaced people to the west of the city, killing two civilians and injuring others.
He added that the fatalities and casualties were rushed to Kuwait Specialized Hospital, a field hospital.
Another civilian succumbed to the wounds he had sustained earlier due to Israeli bombing west of the city.
Meanwhile, an Israeli combat drone opened fire at civilians in the Zaytoun and Tal al-Hawa neighborhoods, south of Gaza City, resulting in several casualties.
Another civilian sustained injury due to Israeli artillery shelling in the vicinity of the Shawa Square, east of Gaza City, at a time when Israeli shelling targeted As-Sikka Street, east of the Zeitoun neighborhood, and a series of airstrikes pounded Beit Hanoun town in the northern Strip.
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 2,780 with 7,680 others wounded, according to medical sources. In the last 24 hours, the bodies of 46 slain Palestinians, including 31 bodies retrieved from the rubble, and 73 casualties were admitted to hospitals in 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 52,908 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 119,721 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.
