The Israel-Gaza conflict intensifies with over 100 casualties in Gaza, including residential bombings in Maghazi refugee camp. Israeli airstrikes persist despite the UN resolution for aid and a ceasefire. Gaza faces one of the deadliest days, impacting Christmas celebrations. Palestinian Christians hold subdued masses. In response, Israel reports a "very heavy cost" with 15 soldiers killed. Ceasefire proposals by Egypt face rejection, raising concerns for Gaza's 2.3 million residents with death toll rises to over 20,500. Despite international calls for precision targeting, Israel insists on military pressure for a "complete victory" over Hamas. The humanitarian crisis deepens as UN warns of starvation for a quarter of Gaza's population.
