Gaza city: Two Palestinians, including a senior police officer, were killed and several others injured in two Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, as reported by medical sources to Anadolu. The Israeli drone strikes have sparked new tensions despite an existing ceasefire agreement.

According to Anadolu Agency, one of the incidents involved an Israeli drone targeting an electric bike in Khan Younis, located in southern Gaza. This attack resulted in the death of a Palestinian and injuries to another, occurring in the Al-Amal neighborhood west of the city. In a separate strike, an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle on Al-Rashid Street in Gaza City, leading to the death of Jamal Abu Kamil, the 43-year-old director of police in Gaza province, and injuring two others. The Palestinian Interior Ministry confirmed Abu Kamil's death, emphasizing the hit on his vehicle as he traveled southwest of Gaza City.

These attacks highlight the ongoing violations of a ceasefire agreement that has been in effect since October 10, 2025. The Gaza Health Ministry reported that, as of Thursday, the violations have resulted in the deaths of 1,260 Palestinians and injuries to 4,154 others. Despite Israeli reports suggesting a restriction on airstrikes and a requirement for assassination operations to have approval from army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, the attacks continue amid pressure to progress with US President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan.

On Wednesday, another Israeli drone strike took place in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, injuring four Palestinians, according to medical sources. The ceasefire was initially established to halt what Palestinian authorities describe as genocide in Gaza, which began on October 8, 2023. The conflict has claimed more than 73,000 Palestinian lives and injured over 174,000 others, predominantly affecting women and children. The ongoing war has caused massive destruction, with 90% of Gaza's civilian infrastructure damaged, and the United Nations estimates reconstruction costs to be around $70 billion.
