Israeli military strikes in Gaza have escalated, with at least
12 Palestinians killed on Friday alone, including
six police officers, while other attacks have also resulted in civilian casualties. Local medics reported fatalities in multiple locations:
three in Gaza City,
two in Beit Lahiya, and
seven in Khan Younis due to Israeli shelling.
"The strikes in Gaza City and Khan Younis targeted the local police force," Gaza’s interior ministry confirmed, asserting that these operations violated the ceasefire established last year. Moreover,
more than 72,000 Gazans have died since the conflict ignited in October 2023, primarily civilians.
Amidst these ongoing assaults, the Israeli military maintained that it was targeting Hamas militants. However, human rights groups have alleged that the military campaign constitutes a genocidal effort against Palestinians, with significant civilian casualties.
Israel has killed at least
984 people and injured
2,235 others since the ceasefire was announced, as
leading rights groups and United Nations investigators express concern over the continuous violence against non-combatants and local policing efforts, further destabilizing the region. Gaza’s Ministry of Interior urgently called for international intervention to halt these assaults on its police forces, which aim to restore security in an area increasingly ravaged by conflict.
