Israeli Strikes in Gaza Claim 11 Palestinian Lives, Including Police Chief

At least 11 Palestinians, among them the director of the Jabalia refugee camp police station and multiple officers, were killed Tuesday in a series of Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian officials.

The attacks were reported as Israel continued to violate a ceasefire that took effect on 10 October 2025.

The bodies of seven Palestinians, including a woman, were taken to Al‑Shifa Medical Complex and the American field hospital after an Israeli strike near Shadia School in the Al‑Falouja area west of Jabalia refugee camp, a medical source told Anadolu.

In a statement, the Gaza Interior Ministry said those killed included Colonel Mohammed Marwan Salem, director of the Jabalia refugee camp police station, along with several police officers and personnel, after an Israeli strike targeted a police post in the area.

An Israeli drone struck the police post in an area crowded with tents sheltering displaced Palestinians and temporary evacuation centers, witnesses told Anadolu.

Two Palestinians were also killed in Israeli shelling of a tent southwest of Gaza City, a medical source said.

In a separate incident earlier Tuesday, one Palestinian was killed and three others were wounded when an Israeli drone struck a tent housing displaced people near the Tayba Towers area west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the source added.

The identity of the person killed in that strike was not immediately available, and the conditions of the wounded were unknown.

In another incident, the same source said child Moataz Abu Shaar was killed by Israeli army gunfire in the Al‑Mawasi area of Rafah in southern Gaza.

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, Israeli attacks since the ceasefire began have killed 1,108 Palestinians and injured 3,578 others as of Monday.

Since Israel’s offensive began on 8 October 2023, more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 173,000 injured, according to the ministry. Palestinian authorities say about 90 % of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed.
