Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza Kill Dozen Including Police Amid Ceasefire

Analysed 15 Jul 2026·2 sources analysed·Gaza Strip, Palestine·Politics
Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza Kill Dozen Including Police Amid CeasefirePreviousNext

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza over two days have killed at least 12 people, including police officers, a woman, children, and family members, according to local health officials. An airstrike on a police station in Jabaliya refugee camp killed six officers, with Israel claiming four were Hamas militants but providing no evidence. Hamas identified one officer as a senior police commander. Israel considers police stations legitimate targets if linked to military activities, though specific claims about Jabaliya were not detailed. The strikes continue despite a months-old ceasefire with Hamas.
