Israeli forces killed at least 12 Palestinians on Friday in a series of strikes across Gaza, including an attack on a police vehicle in Khan Younis that killed eight people — among them three civilian bystanders — and a separate bombing of a house in Beit Lahiya (northern Gaza) that killed two more. Since a US-brokered ceasefire came into effect in October 2025, Israeli strikes have killed at least 984 people and wounded over 2,200, with the overall war death toll now exceeding 72,500. Hamas condemned the attacks as evidence of the international community's failure to enforce the truce, while Gaza's Interior Ministry called on global bodies to intervene, arguing that civilian police forces are protected under international law.
