Three Palestinians, including a child, were martyred and several others were injured as a result of an Israeli airstrike targeting a home in the Khan Younis refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip, overnight, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.
Our correspondent also noted that Israeli strikes targeted homes in the Qizan al-Najjar area, south of Khan Younis city.
Meanwhile, Palestinian media platforms reported that the Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of demolitions in the city of Rafah.
Earlier, Gaza authorities reported that the Israeli occupation had killed 39 Palestinians and wounded 105 others between Tuesday and Wednesday. Hospitals in Gaza reported that among the dead was one victim retrieved from under the rubble, with many more civilians still trapped in destroyed homes and streets, unreachable due to ongoing bombardment. The total death toll since October 7, 2023, has now reached 51,305, with 117,096 injured, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.
Since March 18, 2025, Gaza has recorded 1,928 martyrs and 5,055 injuries, highlighting the sharp escalation of the ongoing Israeli genocide.
Israeli targeting of civilians, shelters
"Israel" continued to bombard Gaza on Wednesday, with rescuers saying at least 18 people had been killed since dawn, including 11 in a strike on a school-turned-shelter for displaced people.
"The school was housing displaced people. The bombing sparked a massive blaze, and several charred bodies have since been recovered," they said, describing the attack on Yaffa school in the al-Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli warplanes and invading units continued their attacks on densely populated civilian areas. On Wednesday morning, an airstrike on the Shaaban family home in Jabalia al-Balad, northern Gaza, killed three Palestinians and wounded several others.
In northeastern Gaza City, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Yaffa School, which was sheltering displaced families, killing ten Palestinians, as per our correspondent.
He further stressed that Civil Defense crews struggled to contain a fire ignited by the bombing.
Elsewhere in Gaza City, homes belonging to the al-Sharbasi and al-Jalees families in the al-Tuffah neighborhood were destroyed. Under dangerous conditions, rescue teams retrieved the bodies of four martyrs and pulled an injured woman from the debris, with more victims believed to be buried beneath the rubble, our correspondent reported.
The death toll among Palestinians continues to climb as "Israel's" relentless war on Gaza shows no sign of slowing, undeterred by the international community’s increasingly feeble calls for a ceasefire.
