GAZA, August 21, 2025 (WAFA) – An Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter on Wednesday evening killed five civilians and injured others in al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that Israeli fighter jets targeted Asmaa School sheltering displaced people in the refugee camp, claiming the lives of five civilians and injuring others.

Earlier, a mother and her child were killed in Israeli shelling targeting a group of civilians in the al-Zarqa area of the al-Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City.

Israel unilaterally ended the Gaza ceasefire agreement and resumed its aggression on the Strip on Tuesday, March 18, carrying out a wave of bloody airstrikes across the Strip and killing at least 10,576 with 44,717 others wounded, according to medical sources.

In the last 24 hours, the bodies of 58 slain Palestinians, including two retrieved from the rubble, and 185 casualties were admitted to Gaza hospitals.

Israel has waged a military onslaught on the Strip since October 2023, killing 62,122 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 156,758 others.

Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
