Palestinian Engineer Killed in Israeli Airstrike on Gaza City

Gaza City: A Palestinian man was killed on Saturday evening in an Israeli military airstrike targeting Gaza City, according to local sources.

According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, Youssef Al-Nakhala, a satellite broadcast engineer, was killed when an Israeli strike hit his family home in Gaza City. Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes also bombed a five-story home near the Islamic University junction in the Ma'an area, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, completely demolishing the building. No casualties were reported at the time of publication.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 54,381 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 124,381 others injured. Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.

Israel's attacks continue despite calls from the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
