At least 10 people, including five journalists, have reportedly been killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza, while a three-week-old baby girl froze to death while staying in a tent camp. An Israeli airstrike on a house in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighbourhood killed five people and wounded 20, medics said, adding the death toll could rise as many people remained trapped under the rubble.
Separately, five journalists working for the Al-Quds Al-Youm television channel were killed when their vehicle was hit in the vicinity of Al-Awda hospital in Nuseirat in central Gaza, the enclave's Hamas-run health authorities said. The vehicle was marked as a media van and was used by journalists to report from inside the hospital and Nuseirat camp.
The Israel Defence Forces said its aircraft attacked the vehicle in a "targeted manner", adding members of the Islamic Jihad militant group were inside. They have not yet commented on the strike in Gaza City's Zeitoun area. Israel has been waging a war on Gaza since 7 October last year, when Hamas, the militant group in control of the besieged enclave, killed 1,200 people in southern Israel and kidnapped more than 250 others - an unprecedented attack which marked the bloodiest day in Israeli history.
