The total number of Gaza Strip casualties since the beginning of the conflict on October 7, 2023, has risen to 51,240 martyrs and 116,931 injuries. The casualties since March 18, 2025, stand at 1,864 martyrs and 4,890 injuries.

Earlier today, at least eight civilians were killed and dozens more injured as Israeli occupation forces launched multiple airstrikes across the Gaza Strip. According to local Palestinian media, a man and his wife were killed when Israeli warplanes targeted a tent in the al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Several others were injured in the same attack.

In a separate strike, five more civilians were killed when Israeli aircraft bombed a residential home in the al-Zanna neighborhood of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis. Another civilian also died after succumbing to injuries sustained in a prior Israeli strike on a vegetable stall in Deir al-Balah, located in the central Gaza Strip.

Israeli occupation forces also demolished several homes in the eastern part of the al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City, while shelling continued heavily in the southeastern al-Zaytoun area. Additionally, occupation drones and quadcopters opened fire in the al-Tuffah and Shujaiya neighborhoods, further escalating the destruction.

In northern Gaza, Israeli forces reportedly fired live ammunition in the northwestern part of Beit Lahia.
