Israeli bombing kills three civilians, injures others in Khan Younes

GAZA, May 22, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli bombing on Wednesday evening killed three Palestinian civilians and injured others in Khan Younes in the southern Gaza Strip, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that the occupation forces opened fire at a group of civilians in the Al-Amal neighborhood, west of the city, claiming the lives of three and injuring others.

The occupying forces ordered civilians in the northern Gaza Strip, namely the neighborhoods of Ghaban, Ash-Shaymaa, Fad‘us, al-Manshiyya, Sheikh Zayed, as-Salatin, al-Karama, Mashru Beit Lahia, Az-Zuhur, Tal Az-Zaatar, An-Nur, Abdul-Rahman, An-Nahda, and Jabalia refugee camp, to forcefully leave the areas.

Meanwhile, later on Wednesday night, a combat drone targeted civilians in Jabalia town in the northern Strip, killing five, all identified as members of the Halawa family.

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 3,509 with 9,909 others wounded, according to medical sources. In the last 24 hours, the bodies of 82 slain Palestinians and 262 casualties were admitted to Gaza hospitals.

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 53,655 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 121,950 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.
