IDF claims pregnant Palestinian woman and child killed by misfired Gaza rocket
Israeli army strenuously denies Hamas' claim that an army airstrike led the death of a pregnant woman and small child
The Israeli military denies Hamas claims that an Israeli airstrike claimed the lives of a pregnant Gaza woman and her 14-month-old child.
The woman and her child were killed by a misfired Hamas rocket, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Ronen Manelis said in a tweet on Sunday morning,
“It is the terrorist organisation’s propaganda at its best,” Manelis said in the tweet.
More than 450 rockets were fired from Gaza at southern Israel over 24 hours beginning on Saturday morning at 10.
The Israeli military launched 220 retaliatory airstrikes on Hamas and Islamic Jihad military targets in Gaza, including the building housing the offices of Hamas and an Islamic Jihad terror tunnel stretching from southern Gaza into Israel.
Six Palestinians are reported to have been killed in the airstrikes, including two Islamic jihad terrorists, the terror group said in an announcement on Sunday morning.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
