Fresh Israeli military operations across the Gaza Strip have left three Palestinians dead, including two local police officers, marking the latest breach of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement reached in October 2024. In an official announcement released Sunday, Gaza’s General Directorate of Police confirmed that an Israeli air strike targeted the vehicle of senior police official Wissam Abdel Hadi, director of the Khan Younis Police Investigations Department, and Sergeant Fadi Heikal in the al-Amal neighborhood of southern Gaza. The attack also left an unspecified number of additional Palestinians wounded. Hamas, the governing authority in Gaza, issued a sharp condemnation of the strike, framing the deliberate targeting of Gaza’s police force as an ongoing campaign of criminal violence and state-sponsored terrorism against the Palestinian people. The movement argued that these attacks are intentionally designed to entrench lawlessness, spread widespread chaos, and block all efforts to rebuild civilian infrastructure and restore normal daily life to the blockaded enclave. Hamas has called on the international community to exert meaningful pressure on Israel to end its ongoing military assaults on Palestinian civilians and security personnel. Sunday’s targeted killing of two police officers is not an isolated incident, but the most recent in a consistent pattern of Israeli attacks on Gaza’s official security forces. The strikes come at a sensitive moment, as regional stakeholders hold ongoing discussions about the potential formation of a new unified police force to maintain order in the blockaded territory. In addition to the police officers, a third Palestinian was killed and multiple other people – including two minor children – were injured in separate attacks across Gaza over the 24-hour reporting period. Anadolu Agency, citing an anonymous medical source, reported that an Israeli drone strike targeted a group of civilian residents gathered in the al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza. A key detail that underscores the ceasefire violation is that both the southern and central Gaza strikes took place outside the existing deployment lines of Israeli ground troops, in an area located beyond the so-called “Yellow Line” – a unilateral military boundary Israeli forces established inside Gaza after the October ceasefire took effect. The Yellow Line is designated as a no-go zone for Palestinians, barring local residents from accessing large swathes of agricultural and residential land across the northern, southern, and eastern edges of the enclave. While the terms of the October truce required Israeli forces to withdraw from territory behind this boundary, Israeli authorities have instead steadily expanded the zone, bringing previously accessible civilian areas under Israeli fire control and resulting in growing numbers of dead and wounded civilians in territory Israel did not control immediately after the ceasefire. In additional incidents reported Monday, Israeli ground forces opened fire on displaced Palestinian civilians sheltering in northern Gaza and Gaza City. Off the coast of Gaza City, Israeli naval forces shelled a group of Palestinian fishermen working in their traditional fishing grounds, wounding an unspecified number of the workers. Local reports confirm that naval personnel also arrested at least six of the fishermen, and their current whereabouts and physical condition remain unknown to family members as of press time. Recent official data from Gaza’s Ministry of Health shows that since the October ceasefire went into effect, at least 854 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli military actions across the enclave, with more than 2,540 others suffering injuries. Since the start of Israel’s large-scale military campaign in Gaza in October 2023, the total death toll has surpassed 72,740 Palestinians killed, according to the latest official counts. Thousands more Palestinians remain missing and are presumed dead, trapped under the rubble of destroyed residential and civilian buildings across the strip.
