GAZA, July 8, 2025 (WAFA) – At least 11 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured on Tuesday evening as Israeli drone strikes and gunfire targeted areas in Khan Younis and Rafah, in southern Gaza.
Medical sources confirmed that nine people, including four former prisoners exiled to Gaza, were killed when an Israeli drone strike hit tents sheltering displaced civilians at the Sanabel Camp, west of the Kuwaiti Hospital in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis.
The slain former prisoners were identified as Amjad Abu Arqoub from Hebron, Mahmoud Abu Sariya from Jenin, Naji Abayat from Bethlehem, and Bilal Zaraa from Ramallah.
Separately, two more Palestinians were killed and over 35 others injured when Israeli forces opened fire on civilians in the Al-Shakoush area, northwest of Rafah.
These attacks bring the death toll in Gaza since dawn to at least 24.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel's ongoing assault on Gaza has killed and injured more than 194,000 Palestinians, the majority of them women and children. Over 11,000 remain missing, while hundreds of thousands are displaced, enduring famine and relentless bombardment.
