Five civilians, including two children, were killed and others injured Tuesday evening in an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

According to local sources, the occupation aircraft targeted the tents of displaced people in Al-Istable Street in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Yunis, which led to the martyrdom of five citizens: Youssef Abdel Quddous Suleiman Al-Mudallal (9 years old), Maysara Abdel Quddous Suleiman Al-Mudallal (8 years old), Mansour Muhammad Mansour Abu Muammar (75 years old), Sobhi Ismail Jarghoun, and Abdul Rahman Muhammad Al-Maghari.

Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation forces have launched an aggression against the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of 52,365 citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 117,905 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.
