GAZA, May 31, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli air and artillery strikes on Saturday killed at least six Palestinians and injured dozens more across multiple areas of Gaza City and Khan Younis.

Local sources reported that an Israeli drone strike targeted a civilian vehicle near Al-Sahaba Medical Complex in Gaza City, killing five people. Separate strikes hit a residential building on Omar Al-Mukhtar Street and a home belonging to the Shahin family on Yafa Street in Al-Tuffah neighborhood, injuring several civilians.

In central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah, Israeli forces shelled a group of civilians near Ansar Mosque, wounding several. A young girl, Mira Mohammad Abu Sabra, died from injuries sustained in a previous strike near Abu Samra roundabout, medical officials confirmed.

In the south, heavy artillery fire struck the Abu Khater district near the Islamic University in Khan Younis, while Israeli drones opened fire on the town of Al-Qarara. Several residential buildings were reportedly demolished by Israeli forces in the area.

One person was killed and others wounded when a tent sheltering displaced families in Al-Mawasi, north of Khan Younis, was hit. In Abasan Al-Jadida, east of the city, emergency crews retrieved the bodies of multiple victims from under the rubble.

Walid Hassan Abu Deqqa also succumbed to injuries from an earlier strike on Al-Mawasi, where his son was killed in the same attack. Another  civilian was confirmed dead following an earlier strike in central Khan Younis.

Rescue operations remain underway amid continued aerial surveillance and bombardment, with civil defense teams struggling to access areas under heavy fire.
