Israeli strikes kill Gaza City police chief Jamal Abu Kamil

Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday resulted in the deaths of two civilians, including Jamal Abu Kamil, a senior police official in Gaza City. The strikes, part of a broader campaign that Israel says targets militant infrastructure, hit a residential area in Gaza City where Abu Kamil was reportedly present, and a separate location in Khan Younis that claimed the life of an unnamed individual. Palestinian health officials confirmed the fatalities and added that several others were injured in the attacks.

The incidents come amid intensified hostilities between Israel and Hamas, which have escalated since the conflict resumed in early October. Israeli military spokespeople have not provided detailed explanations for the specific strikes, while the Hamas‑run health ministry has condemned the attacks as violations of international law. International observers continue to call for restraint and protection of civilian populations as the violence persists.
