GAZA, May 29, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli strikes on Wednesday evening killed nine Palestinians, including a journalist, according to WAFA correspondent.
He said that an Israeli strike targeted a vehicle on the An-Nafaq street in the City of Gaza, claiming the lives of five civilians, including journalist Mutaz Rajab, who worked as a cameraman and video editor for the local Al-Quds Today TV.
Another strike targeted the Shuja'iyya neighborhood of Gaza, killing a minor.
Meanwhile, Israeli fighter jets conducted strikes targeting Bani Suheila town and several neighborhoods of Khan Yunes, resulting in the killing of three civilians.
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.
The death toll reached at least 3,924 with 11,267 others wounded, according to medical sources. In the last 24 hours, the bodies of 28 slain Palestinians, including five bodies retrieved from the rubble, and 179 casualties were admitted to Gaza hospitals, noting that these numbers exclude hospitals in 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 54,084 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 123,308 others.
Statistics issued by medical sources show that since October 2023, Israel has killed 16,854 children and 20,594 young men, accounting for 31.5% and 38% respectively of the total death toll.
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.
