Israeli Strikes Kill Thirteen in Gaza Amid Ceasefire Violations
Gaza’s Interior Ministry said that eight of the dead—including two officers, two police assistants, and four civilians—were killed when an Israeli strike hit a police vehicle in Khan Younis in the southern part of the enclave.
In northern Gaza, a woman and her two children were killed, while six others were wounded after homes near Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia were struck, medical sources told a news agency.
Earlier in the day, two police officers were reported killed and two others injured in an airstrike targeting a police patrol near the Sheikh Radwan police station in Gaza City, according to the same ministry.
The Interior Ministry condemned what it described as the “continued silence” of international organizations, including the International Committee of the Red Cross, over the targeting of police personnel. It argued that such actions contribute to “complicity that encourages further violations against a civilian body protected under international law,” adding that there is no justification for attacks on police forces in Gaza, which it said provide essential services to residents.
Medical sources and eyewitnesses said the targeted locations were outside areas designated for Israeli military presence under the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
