Gaza, May 15, 2025: On the 77th anniversary of Nakba Day, Israeli forces launched widespread bombing attacks in the Gaza Strip, killing over 100 Palestinians. According to a report by Al Jazeera, the majority of the victims were women and children.
The death toll has taken a more devastating toll due to relentless Israeli attacks over the past 19 months.
Nakba Day is a day of mourning and protest for Palestinians. In 1948, during the establishment of the state of Israel, over 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced by Zionist militias, an event known as the "Nakba" or "Great Catastrophe." On this day, Palestinians reaffirm their rights, particularly the right of return for refugees and their demand for freedom.
According to local health officials, at least 59 people were killed in overnight and ongoing attacks in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, until Thursday. Doctors at the Nasser Medical Complex reported that many of the injured are children. Israeli strikes were also reported in Gaza City and Jabalia in northern Gaza.
Al Jazeera journalist Tarek Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir al-Balah, said Israeli warplanes targeted nine homes in Khan Younis without prior warning, wiping out entire families. He described the day as “yet another bloody day” for Gaza.
Nakba Day is observed annually on May 15, commemorating the ethnic cleansing, displacement, and destruction of Palestinian society, culture, and identity during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
