Pope Francis expressed his sorrow over the conflict in the Holy Land, where Palestinian health officials said that on Christmas Eve, one of the worst nights in the Gaza Strip during Israel’s 11-week war with Hamas, airstrikes claimed the lives of at least 78 Palestinians.
Israeli strikes that started just before midnight continued into Monday, Christmas Day. Israel has increased its air and ground shelling on al-Bureij in central Gaza, according to locals and Palestinian media.
According to Ashraf Al-Qidra, a spokesman for the health ministry, at least 70 individuals were murdered in an Israeli bombing that targeted Maghazi in central Gaza; many of them were women and children.
The Israeli army declared that it was devoted to minimizing damage to civilians and that it was examining the report of an incident in Maghazi. The Israeli accusation that Hamas operates in heavily populated areas or utilizes civilians as human shields is refuted by the organization.
The Palestinian Red Crescent released a video showing injured people being brought to medical facilities. It claimed that Israeli airplanes were striking central Gaza’s key roadways, making it more difficult for ambulances and other emergency vehicles to get through.
