Israeli Forces Carry Out Air, Ground Attacks in Gaza; Dozens Dead

Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least 53 Palestinians, including a journalist and rescue workers, medics said, and the Israeli military said its air and ground forces in the north of the enclave killed dozens of militants and captured others.

An airstrike hit the civil emergency center in the Nuseirat market area in the central Gaza Strip, killing Ahmed Al-Louh, a video journalist for Al Jazeera TV, and five other people, medics and fellow journalists said.

Another strike on a house in Nuseirat camp killed five people, including children, according to medics.

The TV network said Al-Louh was working when he was killed and condemned Israel.

The Israeli military said the strike had targeted Hamas operating from Gaza's Civil Defence's Nuseirat office. It named Al-Louh as a member of the militant group Islamic Jihad, without providing evidence.

Al Jazeera did not immediately comment on the Israeli allegation but has condemned previous claims by Israel naming some of the Qatari-owned network's journalists killed in the Gaza war as members of militant groups.

Hamas media said the head of the civil emergency service in Nuseirat, Nedal Abu Hjayyer, was also killed.

"The civil emergency headquarters in Nuseirat camp was hit during the crews' presence, they work around the clock to serve the people," said Zaki Emadeldeen from the civil emergency service to reporters at the hospital.

The Israel has claimed that they have targeted Hamas targets but medics say that most of the killed ones are children and women.
