Israeli military airstrikes continued on Christmas Day in the Gaza Strip, which is ruled by the Palestinian armed faction Hamas.
The Gaza Strip’s Ministry of Health said, “250 people were killed and 500 injured in the last 24 hours,” and “the total number of deaths since the start of the fighting on October 7 has increased to 20,674.”
The Gaza Strip’s Health Ministry also said, “The death toll could rise further as this airstrike targeted residential areas,” adding, “Many of the victims were women and children.”

Meanwhile, in his Christmas message, Pope Francis called children dying in wars, including in the Gaza Strip, “today’s little Jesuses” and lamented that innocent civilians are suffering enormous sacrifices due to Israeli attacks.
