GAZA, August 13, 2025 (WAFA) – At least seven citizens were killed and others wounded early Wednesday morning by Israeli occupation forces' fire and shelling on the cities of Gaza and Deir al-Balah.

Medical sources reported that four citizens were killed and others, waiting for aid, were wounded by Israeli occupation forces' fire southeast of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip.

The sources added that three citizens were killed and several others were wounded as a result of shelling on Al-Thani Street in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City.

The shelling indicated that the Israeli shelling caused destruction to homes and property, while ambulance and civil defense crews continue to search for missing persons under the rubble.

Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation forces have launched an aggression against the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of 61,599 citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 154,088 others.

This is a preliminary toll, with a number of victims still under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams.
