An Israeli strike killed four Palestinians, including a police officer, and wounded others early Friday in separate attacks across the Gaza Strip, despite a ceasefire that has been in effect since October 10.
Medical sources told Anadolu Agency that three Palestinians were killed and others wounded during the pre-dawn hours, which coincides with Suhoor, the pre-dawn meal before breaking the fast during the blessed month of Ramadan, on the 10th day of Ramadan, when an Israeli strike targeted a gathering of civilians in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
In a statement, Gaza's Interior Ministry and National Security said an Israeli strike targeted a police checkpoint on Salah al-Din Street at the entrance to the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, killing one police officer and seriously wounding another.
All targeted areas are located outside areas under Israeli control or military deployment under the ceasefire agreement.
Since the agreement came into effect, Israel has killed some 618 Palestinians and injured 1,663 others in daily ceasefire violations that include attacks and gunfire.
The ceasefire followed the genocidal war launched by Israel on October 8, 2023, which lasted two years and killed more than 72,000 Palestinians and injured over 171,000 others, most of them women and children, as well as destroying about 90 percent of the civilian infrastructure in the territory.
