An Israeli strike killed the head of Hamas-led police forces in northern Gaza, according to local authorities. Gaza's Hamas-run interior ministry confirmed the official's death but did not immediately detail the circumstances surrounding the strike or specify precisely when and where it occurred.
Separately, four other Palestinians were killed in a series of Israeli air strikes carried out during the same period, according to local health officials. A policeman who had been wounded the previous week also died from his injuries, bringing the reported toll from the latest wave of strikes to six.
Israel's military had not issued public comment on the specific strikes at the time of reporting. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has continued to produce near-daily casualties across Gaza, with both sides frequently disputing details of individual incidents as hostilities continue without a clear end in sight.
