The Gaza Interior Ministry said seven people were killed when a police vehicle was hit in Khan Younis in the southern enclave. The dead included two police officers, two police assistants and three civilians.
In northern Gaza, according to medical sources, a woman and a child were killed and six others were wounded in an attack on houses near Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia.
Earlier, according to the same ministry, two Palestinian police officers were killed and two others wounded in an attack on a police patrol near the Sheikh Radwan police station in Gaza City.
The ministry condemned what it called the “continued silence” of international organizations, particularly the International Committee of the Red Cross, over attacks on civilian police personnel. The statement said the attacks constituted “complicity that encourages further violations against a civilian body protected under international law,” arguing that there was no justification for targeting police forces providing essential services to Gazans.
Medical sources and eyewitnesses said the targets of the attacks were areas outside the Israeli military deployment zones stipulated by the ceasefire agreement. The attacks came amid accusations by the Gaza authorities of continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire that has been in place since October 2025, following a war that has reportedly killed more than 72,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 172,000, mostly women and children.
The government media office in Gaza said on April 14 that Israel had committed 2,400 ceasefire violations, including killings, arrests, blockade measures and a starvation policy. The Gaza Health Ministry says these violations have so far resulted in the deaths of 972 Palestinians and the injury of 2,235 others.
