GAZA, July 6, 2025 (WAFA) – At least 17 Palestinians, including children, were killed and several others injured early Sunday as Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes across the war-torn Gaza Strip, according to medical sources and eyewitnesses.
The deadliest attack occurred in Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City, where an Israeli airstrike targeted a home belonging to the Abu Sharkh family. The house was sheltering displaced members of the Abu Shukyan and Suhweil families. Medical sources confirmed that at least 10 civilians were killed in the attack, with others injured and several people still missing under the rubble.
In a separate strike, four people were killed and others injured when Israeli jets bombed the home of the Safadi family on Yafa Street in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
Meanwhile, in southern Gaza, an Israeli drone strike targeted tents sheltering members of the Sharif and Farhat families in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis. Three civilians were killed, with additional casualties reported.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 57,338 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 135,957 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.
