Palestinian journalist and her family killed by Israeli bombing

Amal Zuhd, a Palestinian journalist, was killed along with her family in an Israeli bombing that targeted her home in Gaza City early on Friday, several Palestinian news outlets reported.

Her death brings the total number of Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza since the beginning of Israel's bombardment of the enclave to 64.

On Thursday, photojournalist Muhammad Ayyash and several of his relatives were killed by Israeli bombardment in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.

The killing of Zuhd comes just hours before a temporary truce is set to begin between Israel and Hamas.
