Gaza: Israeli Attacks on Two Police Posts Killed Six Palestinians
Gaza (QNN)- At least six Palestinian police officers were killed in Israeli drone strikes targeting two police posts in central and southern Gaza early Friday morning, as Israel continues to violate the so-called ceasefire agreement.
Medical sources at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis reported the arrival of four bodies and several wounded individuals following an Israeli military strike on a police checkpoint at the al-Maslakh intersection in al-Mawasi. The sources said that the strike occurred in an area outside the Israeli military’s control, and described the condition of some of the wounded as critical.
In the central Gaza Strip, two Palestinians were killed and others were injured in a similar Israeli drone strike that targeted a police post at the entrance to the Bureij refugee camp.
Hamas condemned the attacks as undermining mediator efforts during a “ceasefire” phase that took effect in October and has been violated by Israel more than 1600 times.
Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem said that the rising number of deaths as a result of the ongoing Israeli bombardment across the Gaza Strip reflects “the Zionist occupation’s blatant disregard for the efforts of mediators, and its complete disregard for the Peace Council and its role”.
Qassem added, in a statement, that Israel is continuing its war of extermination against the Palestinian people, despite some changes to form and method, indicating that “the talk of the guarantor states about stopping the war lacks any real substance on the ground.”
Since the start of the ceasefire, over 600 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza and more than 1660 others injured. Israel has also restricted the entry of humanitarian aid into the enclave.
In total, over 72,080 Palestinian have been killed in Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza which started in October 2023, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
