Another Palestinian journalist killed in Israeli strike on Gaza City

Gaza media office has confirmed journalist Bilal Rajab, of al-Quds al-Youm TV channel, was killed in an Israeli bombardment in the Strip.

Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic earlier reported that a strike in the vicinity of the Firas market in Gaza City had killed three people, among whom local sources said was Rajab. The office said the total number of journalists and media workers who have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, now stands at 183.

Fifty children killed in Israeli attack on northern Gaza

Two Israeli attacks on residential buildings in northern Gaza have killed 84 Palestinians, including more than 50 children, Gaza’s Government Media Office says.

The Government Media Office added that the two multistorey buildings were sheltering at least 170 people when they were targeted.

It said 84 people were killed in what it described as “massacres” as no civil defence crews, medical services or other relief services are available in the area amid an Israeli siege and continuing bombardment.

It did not specify the location of the buildings but said they belonged to the Shalayel and al-Ghandour families.

The government called on the international community to uphold its obligation to protect civilians and said it held Israel and its allies – the US, France, the UK and Germany – responsible for the ongoing “genocide” in Gaza.
