In Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, an airstrike on a residential house claimed the lives of five individuals and injured 20 more. Medics warned the death toll could rise as many remained trapped under the rubble.

Truth and understanding
The Media Line's intrepid correspondents are in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Pakistan providing first-person reporting.
They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
Separately, five journalists working for the Al-Quds Al-Youm television channel were killed when an airstrike hit their marked media van near Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat, central Gaza. Palestinian media reported that the vehicle was used by journalists covering events at the hospital and Nuseirat camp.
The Israeli military confirmed it targeted the vehicle, claiming members of the Islamic Jihad group were inside.
This latest escalation comes amid stalled efforts to negotiate a cease-fire between Hamas and Israel, with both sides trading blame for the impasse. Progress had been reported earlier in the week, but no agreement has materialized.
The Gaza health ministry stated that over 45,361 Palestinians have been killed since Israel’s military offensive began on October 7, 2023, following a Hamas-led attack on Israeli territory.
