Israeli fire kills 10 in Gaza, medics say

Israeli fire killed at least ten people, including two police officers ​, across Gaza on Friday, Palestinian health officials said. An Israeli strike ‌in Gaza City killed three people, including two police, tank shelling killed two in Beit Lahiya, and a strike on Khan Younis in the ​south killed five, according to local medics. The Israeli military confirmed ​they had conducted a strike on Gaza City and ⁠said they were targeting Hamas militants. The military did not ​immediately respond to a request for comment on the other reported ​strikes. The strikes in Gaza City and Khan Younis targeted the local police force, Gaza’s interior ministry said. The strike in Khan Younis targeted a police ​vehicle, the ministry added, and hit near a wedding hall, medics ​and residents said. Reuters has previously reported that Israel has heightened its attacks on Gaza’s ‌Hamas-run ⁠police force, which the militant group has used to reestablish governance in the areas it controls in the strip. Violence in Gaza has persisted despite the October 2025 ceasefire, with Israel conducting near-daily ​attacks on Palestinians. At ​least 800 Palestinians have ⁠been killed since the ceasefire deal took effect, according to local medics, while Israel says militants ​have killed four of its soldiers. Israel and Hamas ​have exchanged ⁠blame for ceasefire violations. More than 72, 000 Gazans have been killed since the war started in October 2023, most of them civilians, according ⁠to ​Gaza health authorities. Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attacks ​on Israel killed 1, 200 people, according to Israeli tallies.
