00:15 multiple global crises.
00:22 Clashes erupted on Friday in the Israeli-occupied city of Ramallah in the West Bank.
00:26 Angered by Israel's bombardment of Gaza, Palestinians burnt tires and threw stones at Israeli security
00:32 forces.
00:33 Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers raided the Nurshams refugee camp outside the West Bank city of
00:39 Tal Karm.
00:40 The Israeli military released a video of the raid, saying over 20 wanted persons were arrested
00:45 and over 12 terrorists were eliminated.
00:48 In Gaza, Israel's bombardment continued.
00:51 More than 4,100 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the war began,
00:56 the health ministry in Gaza said.
00:58 And over 13,000 people have been injured.
01:02 On Thursday, Israel destroyed a Greek Orthodox church in Gaza City, the oldest church still
01:07 in use in the Gaza Strip.
01:09 Its military said it had targeted a Hamas command center nearby.
01:13 The health ministry said 16 Palestinians were killed.
01:16 Meanwhile, a funeral was held for an Israeli journalist killed by Hamas as its gunmen attacked
01:37 an Israeli kibbutz.
01:39 "He was such a talented and gifted cameraman.
01:44 He was the first to just shoot right outside and go every half an hour."
01:53 Israel says more than 1,400 Israelis have been killed so far in the war.

02:14 A video posted by Ukraine's army on Thursday purports to show its commander in chief visiting
02:19 the area.
02:20 Kiev says around 900 Russian soldiers were killed or wounded there on Thursday.
02:25 "They have some losses every day.
02:28 At least some losses every day.
02:30 They were told to take up their positions and not to retreat.
02:37 And their losses are visible and not visible.
02:39 I myself counted them, but their losses are visible every day."
