On Wednesday, January 8, 2025, day 460 of the Israeli assault on the entire population of 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza, the Israeli military continued to attack civilians in northern and southern Gaza, killing over 50 people.
Medical sources reported that at least 50 citizens were killed in the occupation’s raids on the Gaza Strip since dawn on Wednesday, 33 of them in the northern Gaza Strip.
WAFA correspondents reported that the occupation aircraft bombed the house of the Al-Dabaji family near the UNRWA clinic west of Deir al-Balah, which resulted in the killing of four Palestinian citizens and the injury of others.
Earlier, a citizen was killed as a result of the occupation’s bombing in the vicinity of Al-Nasr Street, west of Gaza. Five citizens were also killed and others were injured as a result of the occupation’s drones targeting a group of citizens inside the municipal park in the center of Gaza City.
Two citizens were killed and others were injured in the bombing of the Israeli occupation’s drones around Al-Wahda Tower, west of Gaza City.
In the southern Gaza Strip, four citizens were injured when the Israeli occupation forces bombed a house near the Al-Qubba Mosque, west of Khan Younis.
Four citizens were killed and others were injured on Wednesday evening in an Israeli airstrike on a house in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip.
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) announced that at least 74 children were killed in the first seven days of 2025, due to the ongoing violence in the Gaza Strip, including attacks on a unilaterally designated safe zone.
UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell said in a post on the X platform that eight infants and newborns have died since December 26 due to hypothermia, while more than a million Gazan children live in temporary tents unable to withstand low temperatures.
“We have long warned that inadequate shelter, lack of access to nutrition and healthcare, dire health conditions and now winter weather are putting the lives of all children in Gaza at risk, with newborns and children with underlying health conditions particularly at risk,” she added.
The Israeli occupation continues its aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since October 7, 2023, which resulted in the killing of at least 45,936 citizens, the majority of whom are women and children, and the injury of 109,274 others, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of victims are still under the rubble and in the streets, and ambulance and rescue crews cannot reach them .
