Two Christians and an Academic Among Four Women Killed in Israeli Strike in Gaza

An Israeli airstrike killed four women from two families in Gaza at dawn on Saturday, amid Israel’s continuing war on the territory.

The women were Maysaa Abu Dawood and her daughter Mary, and Yasmin al-Boubou and her mother Halloum.

Two of those killed were Christian, and one was an academic. The brief account did not specify which women those descriptions referred to or where in Gaza the strike took place.

Their deaths add to the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed across Gaza during the war, a toll that includes both Muslim and Christian residents.
