An Israeli air strike hit a Palestinian police post in northern Gaza on Saturday, killing at least five officers and a 13-year-old boy, according to Gaza police. The attack also wounded several others.
The Gaza police directorate, responsible for security in areas under Hamas control since the US-brokered ceasefire in October, stated that two missiles struck a Tawam area post.
Hamas’ nearly 10,000 police officers are a contentious issue in talks about advancing President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza. Israel opposes their involvement due to potential links with Hamas militants.
Since the truce, health officials report over 880 Palestinians killed and at least four Israeli soldiers killed in militant attacks within the enclave.
