On Tuesday, Israeli forces continued their relentless bombardment of all areas of the Gaza Strip.

Another journalist was targeted and killed on Tuesday, making 220 journalists killed by Israeli forces since October 2023.

Palestinian writer and photojournalist Fatema Hassouna, along with several family members, were massacred this morning in an Israeli airstrike that struck their home in Gaza City. Israel continues its deliberate targeting of individuals who convey Palestinian suffering to the world and document their war crimes against humanity.

The following are the documented attacks carried out by Israeli forces against Palestinians in Gaza on Tuesday April 15th, 2025:

They added that two civilians were killed and others injured when an Israeli drone bombed a tent housing displaced people at Yarmouk Stadium, west of Gaza City.

In the same context, Israeli artillery targeted the eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City, while a Quadcopter drone fired at the eastern areas of the Tuffah neighborhood, east of the city.

This is a preliminary toll, with a number of victims still buried under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams.
