Israeli airstrikes have killed at least a dozen people in Gaza over the past two days, local health officials said Wednesday.
The strikes continue almost daily despite a months-old ceasefire with Hamas.
On Wednesday, three members of a family were killed in central Gaza, Al Aqsa Hospital officials said.
On Tuesday, a woman and six police officers were killed in an airstrike on a police station in the Jabaliya refugee camp.
A man died in a bombing of a tent camp in Khan Younis.
Israeli forces also shot and killed a child in the Muwasi area, hospital officials said.
The Israeli military did not comment on the strikes in central and southern Gaza.
On the Jabaliya attack, it claimed four slain police officers were Hamas militants, without providing evidence.
One officer, Col. Mohamad Marwan Salem, was a senior police commander, the Hamas-run Interior Ministry said.
The United Nations human rights office has condemned attacks on Gaza’s police.
It said police personnel were attacked at least a dozen times in 2026, including during ordinary law enforcement.
The ceasefire deal in October attempted to halt a two-year war.
At least 1,123 people have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect, according to the territory’s Health Ministry.
