"🚨 BREAKING: Israeli strike targeting Gaza City police kills nine, wounds 15 At least nine Palestinians were killed and 15 wounded on Wednesday in an Israeli airstrike on the Municipalities Police headquarters in Gaza City, according to Gaza’s Interior Ministry. The strike hit during a busy time in the middle of day and close to a crowded municipal park, with sources at Al-Shifa Hospital saying most of the wounded were in critical condition. Footage from Drop Site contributor Mohamed Ahmed shows ambulances arriving as people rush to carry the dead and wounded, including a woman and a child. “They killed people — elderly people, children, and women. And then they talk about a truce,” eyewitness Abu Al-Baha said. “Every day we say, ‘Tomorrow there’s hope. There is still hope,’ while the number of martyrs keeps rising. Let people feel for us. Yesterday, it was the port. Today, the municipal park, full of children. Every day, they take revenge on us.” On Tuesday, Israel bombed the port area west of Gaza City killing at least seven Palestinians. Gaza’s Interior Ministry called for urgent intervention by mediators and the international community to stop Israeli attacks on the civil police force, saying Israel was seeking to cripple the police and “spread chaos within Palestinian society.” Hamas called the attack a “new Zionist war crime,” saying most of those killed were police officers and personnel. It rejected the Israeli military’s claim that resistance leaders were targeted as “baseless.” The group said the attack, coming after recent contacts with mediators and meetings with “Board of Peace” member Jared Kushner aimed at advancing the ceasefire agreement, showed Netanyahu’s government was deliberately seeking to undermine those efforts. Hamas called on mediators, particularly the Trump administration, to take immediate action to halt the escalation and pressure Israel to abide by the agreement. 🎥 Mohamed Ahmed" - Source
