An Israeli strike in Al-Mawasi, southern Gaza, resulted in the deaths of at least 11 Palestinians, including the director general of Gaza police and a deputy, as reported by local officials on Thursday. The casualties included Maj. Gen. Mahmoud Salah and Maj. Gen. Hussam Shahwan, both key figures in the Palestinian Police Command Council.
Gaza’s interior ministry condemned the attack, accusing Israel of undermining law and order in the region. The ministry stated that the assassination of the police officials was a deliberate attempt to spread chaos and deepen the suffering of citizens in Gaza.
