The Israeli army has killed another journalist in Gaza, local officials said, taking the tally of journalists killed in blockaded enclave by invading troops to 106.

The journalist working for Al Quds TV was killed along with a number of his family members in an Israeli air strike on their house in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, health officials and fellow journalists said.

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said last week that the first 10 weeks of the Israel's war on Gaza were the deadliest recorded for journalists, with the most journalists killed in a single year in one location.

Health workers and journalists have held a vigil in front of 10 Downing Street to pay tribute to colleagues killed by Israel in besieged Gaza and demanded an immediate ceasefire.

Participants, including prominent figures like Omar Adel-Mannan, a pediatric neurologist, and Lemis Andoni, a seasoned Palestinian journalist, not only paid respects but urged the government to advocate for lasting peace.

Adel-Mannan, who had previously worked in Gaza, delivered a stirring message to the "silent majority," urging them to "break their silence and take action in response to the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza."
