Israeli Drone Strikes Kill at Least Six Palestinians in Southern and Central Gaza

Gaza. At least six Palestinians were killed in Israeli drone attacks in southern and central Gaza. The strikes reportedly targeted two police posts near the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza and the southern city of Khan Younis.

Hamas strongly condemned the attacks, which continued until Friday morning, accusing Israel of undermining mediation efforts. Hamas claimed that Israel has been violating the ceasefire agreement, which took effect on October 10, on an almost daily basis.

Four bodies and several injured individuals were brought to the hospital following the attack on the police checkpoint at Al-Maslakh Square in the Al-Mawasi area. The Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis stated that some of the injured are in critical condition. Sources also indicated that the location is outside the direct control of the Israeli army. 

Similarly, two people were reported killed and others injured in another drone strike on a police post at the entrance to the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem accused the bombings of openly disregarding mediation efforts due to the rising death toll.

Israel continues its attacks on Palestinians even as it changes the nature of the war, he stated. The Israeli side has not yet issued an immediate official response regarding the incidents. International concern is growing as the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip deepens the humanitarian crisis.
