An Israeli airstrike Tuesday evening killed six Palestinians, including three children, in the al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younes in the southern Gaza Strip, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that Israeli fighter jets targeted a tent sheltering displaced people in the al-Mawasi area, claiming the lives of six civilians, including three children, and injuring others.

Israeli fighter jets conducted another airstrike targeting the vicinity of a center in the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

Israel unilaterally ended the Gaza ceasefire agreement and resumed its aggression on the Strip on Tuesday, March 18, carrying out a wave of bloody airstrikes across the Strip and killing hundreds of Palestinians, including over 100 children.

The death toll reached 1,449 with 3,647 others wounded, according to medical sources. Emergency teams are attempting to recover victims still trapped beneath the rubble.

Medical sources added that within the last 24 hours, the bodies of 58 slain Palestinians and 213 casualties were admitted into hospitals across the Strip.

The aggression was resumed amidst concerns over the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Strip given the ongoing siege and ban on the entry of medical and humanitarian aid.

Israel has waged a military onslaught on the Strip since October 2023, killing 50,810 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 115,688 others.

Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
