Israeli strikes killed police official Jamal Abu Kamil in Gaza City and another person in Khan Younis, Al Jazeera reported, as Israeli forces continued military operations across the Gaza Strip. The strikes are among the latest in a continuing campaign that has drawn international scrutiny.

Local officials said the deaths add to a mounting toll among both security personnel and civilians in Gaza, where infrastructure and administrative capacity have been severely degraded by months of fighting. Details on the circumstances of Abu Kamil's death were not immediately available.

The strikes come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to reach a broader ceasefire in Gaza, with international mediators continuing to press both sides. Humanitarian organizations have repeatedly warned that continued strikes are worsening an already dire situation for the territory's population.
