In a series of intensified military actions, Israeli forces have killed at least 12 individuals, including six police officers, across Gaza, according to Palestinian health officials. The deadly strikes targeted multiple locations, with notable incidents in Gaza City and Beit Lahiya.

The Israeli military confirmed its involvement in some of these operations, stating that they were aimed at Hamas militants. The strikes have specifically focused on Gaza's local police force, as identified by the region's interior ministry, with one particular strike in Khan Younis hitting a police vehicle.

Despite an October 2025 ceasefire, violence in Gaza has persisted, with increased assaults by Israel. Since the ceasefire began, over 800 Palestinians have died. This ongoing conflict follows severe casualties on both sides from October 2023, marking a period of relentless strife in the region.
