Many of the remaining churches across Gaza either scaled back or cancelled Christmas activities altogether. Gaza's Christian community has marked a subdued Christmas as the sound of Israeli bombardment and hum of drones from the east of the enclave carried through the night and into the early hours of this morning, according to Al Jazeera's team on the ground in Gaza City.

Greek Orthodox Patriarch Theophilos III and Latin Patriarch Pierbattista Pizzaballa denounced recent settler attacks, highlighting the lack of response from Israeli authorities to emergency calls from the Palestinian community.
