Good morning, Middle East Eye readers, 

Here are some of the latest updates from Israel's war on Gaza:  

  • Five journalists working for the Palestinian TV channel Al-Quds Today were killed Thursday in an Israeli strike on their vehicle, the outlet said in a statement.

  • Juliette Touma, director of communications for the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa), described northern Gaza as going through “the hell of the hell" during Israel’s nearly three-month-long siege.

  • The Israeli military has confirmed it attacked a media vehicle marked as press in Gaza and killed five journalists working for Al-Quds Today, claiming its air forces had targeted a “terrorist cell”.

  • Israeli forces detonated an explosives-laden robot near the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, wounding a nurse, the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reported.

  • The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (Fews Net) has withdrawn a report released on Monday that warned famine was occurring in northern Gaza due to Israel’s near-total blockade on supplies entering the territory.

  • At least 10 people, including five journalists, were killed and more than a dozen wounded in Israeli strikes on Gaza early on Thursday, medics with the Palestinian health authorities said.

  • Doctors report that at least three Palestinian infants have died from hypothermia over the past two days while sheltering in tents in southern Khan Younis as temperatures drop sharply across the Gaza Strip.
