GAZA, August 9, 2025 (WAFA) – Three civilians were killed on Saturday evening in Israeli airstrikes targeting Khan Yunis city in the southern Gaza Strip.

Medical sources in the Strip reported that three civilians, including a woman, were killed and several others injured after an Israeli drone struck a tent sheltering displaced persons in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Yunis.

Israeli warplanes also bombed three residential buildings belonging to the Rajab, Hanouna, and Abu Asi families in the Askola area of al-Zeitoun neighborhood in southern Gaza City.

The death toll in the Gaza Strip has reached 61,639, the majority of whom were women and children, since the beginning of the Israeli aggression in October 2023. At least 152,850 others have also been injured.

This toll remains incomplete, as many victims remain trapped under rubble, inaccessible to ambulance and rescue crews.

The number of aid seekers who were killed and brought to hospitals in the past 24 hours has reached 21, with more than 341 others injured. This raises the total number of aid seekers killed while trying to secure basic necessities and brought to hospitals to 1,743, with over 12,590 injured, according to hospital records.
