Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza Kill Journalists and Infants as Humanitarian Crisis Deepens

Five journalists were killed in a targeted strike, while three infants died from hypothermia in freezing conditions amid widespread displacement.

An Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed five journalists from Al-Quds Today channel, targeting their clearly marked press vehicle near al-Awda Hospital.
Israel's military claimed the strike was aimed at Islamic Jihad members and stated measures were taken to minimize civilian harm, though the attack has drawn significant criticism.
Three infants, including a three-week-old baby, died from hypothermia in makeshift shelters as temperatures dropped to 9°C, highlighting the dire conditions for displaced families in Gaza.
The ongoing conflict in Gaza has resulted in over 45,000 Palestinian deaths, primarily women and children, and displaced 90% of the population, according to local health authorities.
The Committee to Protect Journalists reports at least 141 journalists have been killed since the escalation began in October 2023, underscoring the risks faced by media workers in war zones.
