Israeli strike kills five Gaza police officersfive Gaza police officers in northern Gaza
An Israeli air strike hit a police post in northern Gaza on Saturday, killing at least five Palestinian police officers and wounding others, according to Gaza police and medics.
One report also said a 13-year-old boy was killed in the attack as Israel intensified strikes on the Hamas-run force. The incident matters because it comes amid a fragile ceasefire and rising pressure on the Gaza police structure.
Gaza Police
Gaza police said the strike targeted a police position near the Sheikh Radwan area and killed officers on duty. They described the attack as part of a wider pattern of Israeli strikes on the Hamas-run force.
Israeli Position
The Israeli side has stepped up attacks on the Hamas-run police force in Gaza. In this framing, the strikes are part of continued pressure on armed structures linked to Hamas.
- Gaza’s police force has also handled traffic and civil order, not only security operations.
- Sheikh Radwan is one of Gaza City’s larger residential districts.
- Northern Gaza has seen repeated displacement because it sits on key movement routes.
Israel-Lebanon War
Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to a 60-day ceasefire that mandates Israeli troop withdrawal from southern Lebanon while the Lebanese army deploys across all border crossings and the south.
