Gaza Ministry reports 139 martyrs amid ongoing Israeli strikes

Al Mayadeen15-07-2025
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Sunday that hospitals received the bodies of 139 martyrs, including five retrieved from under the rubble, and 425 injuries over 24 hours. Many victims remain trapped beneath debris and along roads, unreachable due to continued bombardment.
Since October 7, 2023, as of June 16, 2025, the death toll of the Israeli genocide in Gaza has surged to 58,026 Palestinians killed and 138,520 injured. Since March 18, 2025, the total toll has risen to 7,450 martyred and 26,479 wounded.
Moreover, as the Israeli-made famine looms over Gaza, 28 starved Palestinians were killed since early morning, and over 180 were injured while trying to receive aid at designated 'aid distribution sites' and were later transported to hospitals, as per the Ministry's report.
The death toll among Palestinians killed while seeking food aid in designated distribution zones has now climbed to 833, with more than 5,432 others wounded, according to the report.
At least 62 Palestinians were killed on Sunday as Israeli forces intensified their aerial and artillery assault across the Gaza Strip, striking residential neighborhoods, medical staff, and camps sheltering displaced civilians.
According to Gaza's Civil Defense, 28 of the fatalities occurred in Gaza City alone, amid relentless bombardment that continues to devastate densely populated areas. The casualties include women, children, doctors, and humanitarian workers.
Meanwhile, in Khan Younis, Civil Defense Lieutenant Ahmed Ismail al-Bureim was killed in an attack on forcibly displaced civilians in the Abasan area. His martyrdom raises the total number of Civil Defense personnel killed since the beginning of the genocide to 131.
Strikes also targeted civilians near aid distribution centers and in displacement zones. Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that three Palestinians were killed near a humanitarian aid point north of Rafah, while drone strikes on tents sheltering families in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, claimed three more lives, including that of a child in al-Sumoud camp.
In a harrowing massacre, a direct Israeli strike on the crowded al-Samer junction in central Gaza City killed 17 Palestinians, among them a child and a physician, leaving over 50 others wounded.
Concurrently, Israeli warplanes bombed a local market, killing Dr. Ahmed Qandil, a renowned general surgery consultant.
Further bombardment struck the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood, where four Palestinians were killed near the Jordanian Hospital. Additional airstrikes hit homes in al-Sham'a and areas surrounding the al-Sham'a Mosque, as per our correspondent. Additionally, artillery shelling on al-Nadeem Street in al-Zaytoun killed at least one Palestinian and wounded others.
In the central Gaza Strip, reports indicate that air raids on al-Nuseirat refugee camp alone left at least 50 people dead.
Medical teams continue to operate under catastrophic conditions, facing shortages of equipment, targeted attacks, and ongoing threats to their lives. That said, human rights organizations have condemned the strikes on civilian areas, health workers, and critical infrastructure, urging immediate international action to stop the Israeli genocide.

Three killed in Israeli strikes on south Lebanon

Three killed in Israeli strikes on south Lebanon The Health Ministry said three people were killed in Israeli strikes in the south on Saturday despite a ceasefire, as the Israeli military said one of them targeted a Hezbollah militant. "The Israeli enemy drone strike that targeted a vehicle" in Tyre district "killed one person," a ministry statement said. The Israeli military said that it "struck and eliminated" a Hezbollah commander who was "involved in efforts to rehabilitate the ... organization in the area of Bint Jbeil," near the border. It did not specify where the strike took place. The Lebanese health ministry later reported that another Israeli strike in Tyre district, on the town of Debaal, killed two people. The state-run National News Agency reported that it targeted a house. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment about the reported strike in Debaal. Israel has kept up its strikes on Lebanon despite a November ceasefire that sought to end over a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of all-out war. It has warned it will continue to strike until the Iran-backed militant group has been disarmed. Under the truce, Hezbollah was to withdraw its fighters north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese Army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region. Israel was to withdraw all its troops from Lebanon but has kept them in five areas it deems strategic.

Death toll nears 60,000 killed in Israeli attacks

BEIRUT — In its daily report, Gaza's Health Ministry said Sunday that at least 88 Palestinians have been killed in the Palestinian enclave in the past 24 hours, along with 374 wounded. Among these victims, at least 53 people have been killed since dawn on Sunday morning, according to medical sources cited by al Jazeera, despite the "tactical pauses" in fighting announced by the Israeli army in several regions of the besieged territory to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid. About 32 aid seekers were killed by Israeli gunfire during a distribution near a GHF center in Khan Younis (south). This brings the total number of people killed directly by Israeli army attacks since the beginning of its offensive to 59,821 dead and 144,851 wounded, according to the ministry. At the same time, hospitals recorded six new deaths linked to malnutrition, bringing the total number of famine-related deaths to 133, including 87 children.

53 Palestinians killed despite fighting 'pause', 6 more die of famine

At least 43 Palestinians have been killed since dawn Sunday morning in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources cited by al Jazeera, despite an announcement by the Israeli army of "humanitarian pauses in fighting" in some areas of the enclave. The victims include 29 people who were waiting for a humanitarian aid distribution in Khan Younis, in the south of the enclave, according to an official from the Nasser medical complex cited by the Qatari media outlet. The Israeli army had announced a daily humanitarian pause, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (local time), in the areas of al-Mawassi, Deir el-Balah, and Gaza City, to allow for an increase in the delivery of aid in light of the worsening famine imposed in the besieged territory. In addition, the Gaza Health Ministry announced on Sunday morning that six more people have died from famine and malnutrition in the last 24 hours, including two children. The total number of deaths from famine now stands at 133, including 87 children, according to the ministry.
