GAZA, December 8, 2025 (WAFA) – Two civilians were killed and several others were injured on Monday evening by Israeli occupation forces’ fire in the Gaza Strip.

WAFA correspondent reported that a civilian was killed after succumbing to injuries sustained in an Israeli shelling of the al-Jarou family home west of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. Another female was killed by live fire fired from an Israeli drone in Halawa camp in the Jabalia al-Balad area, north of the Strip.

Several civilians were also injured in Israeli drone shelling targeting the tents of displaced people in the vicinity of the al-Omala Market in Gaza City.

Although a ceasefire in Gaza went into effect on October 11, the death toll in the Gaza Strip has continued to rise, reaching 70,365, mostly women and children, since the beginning of the Israeli aggression in October 2023. At least 171,058 others have also been injured.

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

Medical sources said that during the past 24 hours, five bodies were brought to hospitals in Gaza, including two recovered from under the rubble, along with 11 injured people.

Since the ceasefire went into effect on October 11, the number of those killed and injured has reached 376 and 981, respectively. At least 626 bodies have also been recovered.
