GAZA, June 9, 2025 (WAFA) – At least seven Palestinian civilians were killed and several others injured on Monday evening when an Israeli drone strike targeted a tent sheltering displaced people west of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, according to medical sources in the Gaza Strip.
The tent, located in the Al-Mawasi area to the west of Khan Younis—designated as a "safe zone" for displaced residents—was struck amid continued Israeli military attacks across the enclave.
In a separate development, Israeli artillery also shelled areas north of Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
Since the early hours of Monday, Israeli attacks on multiple areas across the Gaza Strip have resulted in the killing of 51 Palestinians, according to health authorities.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 54,880 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 126,227 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.
