On Thursday, Day 641 since the beginning of the genocide on October 7, 2023, Israeli military strikes across multiple areas of the Gaza Strip left dozens of Palestinians killed and many more wounded. Among the victims were journalist Ahmad Salama Abu Aisha and three civilians who were killed while waiting for humanitarian aid.
Media sources confirmed that three Palestinians were killed, and others wounded when Israeli forces opened fire on civilians awaiting aid northwest of Gaza City. The dead and injured were transported to Al-Shifa Medical Complex.
Two civilians were also killed and others wounded in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the rooftop of a home in the Sham’a area of the Zeitoun neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.
Additional strikes on Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, resulted in the killing of Nasser Abu Amra. Another airstrike targeted a home behind a mosque in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood of eastern Gaza City.
Furthermore, eight Palestinians were killed and many injured in an Israeli bombing of Al-Wihda Street near Zahra’ School in the center of Gaza City.
Medical sources confirmed the death of journalist Ahmad Salama Abu Aisha, who was killed in an airstrike targeting a group of civilians in the Sawarha area west of Nuseirat in central Gaza.
Further casualties were reported in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, where a civilian was killed and others wounded following drone strikes on the western part of the city.
Media sources stated that Israeli drones bombed a makeshift shelter housing displaced families in the town of Al-Qarara, northwest of Khan Younis, killing five civilians: Kamel Wafi, Darwish Adnan Wafi, Yasmin Adnan Wafi, Mahfoutha Abdullah Wafi, and Abboud Mohammed Ali Abu Muammar. Several others were injured.
Additionally, the Israeli army fired missiles at Palestinians near the Al-Karama Towers, northwest of Gaza City, killing at least four and wounding many others.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, the number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid over the past 24 hours stands at nine, with at least seventy-eight wounded. The total number of aid-seeking Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers has now reached at least 752, with 5,179 wounded.

Over the past 24 hours, 82 Palestinians have been killed, including 38 in central and southern Gaza, and 247 wounded, according to hospital records across the Gaza Strip. Dozens remain trapped under rubble and on destroyed streets, with rescue teams unable to reach them due to widespread devastation and ongoing bombardment.
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate has condemned the killing of journalist Ahmad Abu Aisha, a correspondent for Palestine Today, describing it as yet another crime in the Israeli occupation’s dark record against truth.
His death adds to a long chain of systematic violations targeting Palestinian journalists in an attempt to silence free expression and obscure reality.
In a statement issued Thursday, the syndicate confirmed that Abu Aisha was deliberately targeted by Israeli drones while standing in front of his home in western Nuseirat, central Gaza. He was killed instantly in what the syndicate described as a clear and intentional act against an unarmed journalist fulfilling his professional and national duty.
“The Israeli occupation follows a systematic policy of targeting journalists and media outlets,” the statement read, “in blatant violation of international and humanitarian laws that safeguard media professionals during armed conflicts.”
The syndicate called for urgent international intervention and urged the International Criminal Court to hold Israeli leaders accountable for these crimes. It stressed that Palestinian journalists have become targets for execution simply for conveying the truth to the world.
According to the statement, dozens of Palestinian journalists have been killed since the onset of the aggression, many others wounded, and scores of media institutions destroyed—in a failed attempt to extinguish the voice of truth.

The statement concluded: “Despite the killings, bombardments, and destruction, Palestinian journalism will remain free. Our pens and cameras will continue to bear witness to the crimes of the occupation—they will not be broken, nor silenced by the machinery of war.”
Since Israel violated the ceasefire agreement on March 18, 2025, the Israeli army has killed at least 7,200 Palestinians, including 1,856 children, 676 women, 334 elders, and 39 journalists, and wounded more than 25,615, mostly children, women, and the elderly.
Israel has now killed at least 57,762 Palestinians, including over 17,131 children, 10,190 women, 4,147 elders, and 257 journalists. Thousands remain missing, most likely buried under bombed buildings and collapsed alleyways. More than 137,656 Palestinians have been injured, largely children and women, across the devastated Gaza Strip.
The number of fatalities in Gaza remains incomplete, as accurate data is unavailable due to the ongoing Israeli genocide, relentless bombing, massive destruction, and siege on the coastal enclave.
