GAZA, May 31, 2025 (WAFA) – Eight Palestinians were killed and several others injured on Saturday as Israeli occupation forces continued their genocidal onslaught on the Gaza Strip, with the deadliest incident involving an airstrike on a tent sheltering displaced civilians to the north of Khan Younis.
Local sources reported that an Israeli drone targeted a tent in the Al-Mawasi area of Al-Qarara town, north of Khan Younis, killing six people. Among the victims were four members of the same family: Saeed Al-Kurd, Basma Al-Kurd, Ashraf Al-Kurd, and Riham Al-Kurd. Two others were also killed: Maryam Al-Astal and Alma Al-Ghalban.
In a separate incident, Israeli forces opened fire on civilians near an aid distribution center west of Rafah, killing Ahmad Sameer Al-Bouji and Ahmad Ashraf Al-Hams.
Meanwhile, medical teams recovered the body of Rafiq Shoaib Ali Al-Lahham, who was killed in an earlier strike on Khan Younis.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 54,381 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 124,381 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.
