GAZA, September 13, 2025 (WAFA) – Two Palestinians were killed and several others injured on Saturday after Israeli fighter jets bombed a home south of Gaza City and targeted shelters in Al-Shati refugee camp west of the city, as well as three UNRWA schools, medical sources reported.
Al-Shifa Hospital confirmed that two civilians were killed and others injured following the strike on a home south of Gaza City. Earlier, an Israeli drone targeted shelters housing displaced residents in Al-Shati refugee camp, injuring several people, who were subsequently transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital.
Israeli occupation forces also hit a home near Al-Sina'a Street south of Gaza City, causing additional injuries. In addition, three UNRWA schools were targeted by Israeli airstrikes, displacing thousands of internally displaced Palestinians who had sought refuge there.
According to eyewitnesses, the schools were sheltering people who had fled northern and southern Gaza City but refused to leave the city. Israeli forces reportedly gave prior warnings via phone calls to evacuate the schools, but the time allowed was insufficient for residents to gather their essential belongings.
Earlier on Saturday, the Israeli occupation military dropped leaflets over wide areas of Gaza City instructing residents to evacuate to southern parts of the Strip, a directive largely rejected by civilians.
Gaza City, home to 1.3 million people, is witnessing a surge in internal displacement as Israeli attacks intensify, with most residents crowding into the western neighborhoods, which have been subjected to concentrated airstrikes for over two weeks.
