Gaza strikes kill at least 22 as church marks Christmas
The Gaza Strip saw multiple overnight strikes that killed at least 22 people including five children, as Gaza City's displaced shelter and a Deir al-Balah home were hit. The Catholic Church leader Cardinal Pizzaballa visited Gaza for a Christmas Mass, amid ongoing war and ceasefire negotiations. The toll rose with more fatalities in separate strikes, while Pope Francis urged a ceasefire and the ICJ probes alleged genocide.
