Israeli airstrikes in Gaza killed at least three Palestinians on Sunday, including two members of Hamas-run police forces, according to local health officials. The latest violence highlights the growing instability of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that has remained under pressure since it took effect in October 2025.
Medical sources said one Palestinian was killed and two others injured after an Israeli strike targeted the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza. The Israeli military stated that the attack targeted two militants engaged in “suspicious activity” who allegedly approached Israeli troops and posed an immediate threat.
In a separate incident in Khan Younis, an Israeli airstrike killed Wessam Abdel-Hadi, the head of Gaza’s criminal police force, along with his aide. Gaza’s Hamas-run interior ministry confirmed the deaths. Israel’s military claimed the operation targeted militants linked to Hamas’ elite units in southern Gaza who were allegedly planning imminent attacks against Israeli forces.
Despite the ceasefire agreement, violence in Gaza has continued almost daily. Palestinian medics report that at least 850 Palestinians have been killed since the truce began, while Israel says four of its soldiers have died during the same period. Both Israel and Hamas continue to accuse each other of violating the ceasefire terms.
Witnesses described scenes of destruction in Khan Younis, where the police vehicle was reduced to twisted metal following the blast. During the funeral procession, mourners carried the bodies through the streets while chanting religious slogans.
Local resident Ali Mousa accused Israel of deliberately targeting Gaza’s police force to create instability and disorder within the territory. He said the attacks were intended to spread chaos among civilians already struggling under ongoing conflict.
According to Gaza health authorities, more than 72,500 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have been killed since the war began in October 2023.
