Israel kills 5 journalists in Gaza as babies in tent camp freeze to death

Israel kills 5 Palestinian journalists in front of Al-Awda Hospital in Gaza.
Gaza health authorities say new Israeli strikes have killed more than several people, including five journalists, and wounded several more in the besieged Palestinian territory.

In one of the latest attacks on Thursday morning, five journalists were killed after Israeli warplanes struck a vehicle carrying a press crew in front of Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza.

The journalists worked for the Al-Quds Al-Youm television channel.

The vehicle was marked as a media van and was used by journalists to report from inside the hospital and Nuseirat camp, Palestinian media and local reporters said.

Earlier, at least five people were killed and 30 others were injured after Israeli warplanes bombed a Palestinian home in Gaza City’s al-Zaytoun neighborhood, the medics reported.

They warned the death toll could rise as many remained trapped under the rubble.

Another strike on a residential apartment in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City killed ten citizens.

Israeli forces also continued extensive bombing operations around Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

To the south of Gaza, Israel’s bombings of homes and other residential buildings in Rafah caused several fatalities and dozens of injuries.

The Israeli genocide in Gaza has killed more than 45,300 Palestinians so far, leaving over 107,800 others injured.

According to a fresh UN report, more than 14,500 children have been killed so far in Gaza with thousands more believed to be still trapped or buried under the rubble.

On Wednesday, Pope Francis appealed for a ceasefire in Gaza during his traditional Christmas address, denouncing the "extremely grave" humanitarian situation in the blockaded territory.

Pope Francis made the call during his traditional annual message to the world's Catholics.

His new remarks came after he openly condemned the ongoing Israeli airstrikes in the war-stricken Gaza.

Last week, he described Israel's actions as acts of cruelty and criticized the continued bombardment of Palestinians, including children.
