An Israeli airstrike on a police post in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza killed at least seven to eight people, including senior police officials, according to health authorities and Hamas officials.
Witnesses told the BBC that an Israeli drone fired four missiles at the post near a busy market in Jabalia. The Palestinian territory's Hamas-run interior ministry identified the head of the local police station, Col Mohammed Marwan Salem, among those killed. The ministry condemned the strike as a "massacre."
Gaza's Civil Defense and Al Shifa hospital, located in Gaza City, confirmed that eight bodies were brought to the hospital following the airstrike. The Civil Defense, which operates as a rescue service under Hamas administration, said the strike targeted a police station in the western part of the Jabalia refugee camp.
An Israeli military official confirmed it had carried out a strike in the area and said it had targeted "terrorists," without providing additional details.
