Jabalia police station hit
Israeli attacks across Gaza on Tuesday killed at least 11 Palestinians, including the director of the police station in Jabalia refugee camp, Palestinian officials said, as the strikes came amid continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, 2025.
The Gaza Interior Ministry said those killed included Col. Mohammed Marwan Salem, director of the Jabalia refugee camp police station, after an Israeli strike targeted a police post in the area, and witnesses told Anadolu that an Israeli drone struck the post in an area crowded with tents sheltering displaced Palestinians and temporary evacuation centers.
In a separate incident, two Palestinians were killed in Israeli shelling of a tent southwest of Gaza City, and one Palestinian was killed and three others were wounded when an Israeli drone struck a tent housing displaced people near the Tayba Towers area west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
The same medical source said child Moataz Abu Shaar was killed by Israeli army gunfire in the Al-Mawasi area of Rafah in southern Gaza, while the Gaza Health Ministry said Israeli attacks since the ceasefire began have killed 1,108 Palestinians and injured 3,578 others as of Monday.
The BBC described the broader pattern as a fire-and-fighting ceasefire that “failed to stop sporadic violence,” as it reported that at least 10 people were killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, including six police officers and a woman killed in a drone strike on a police station in northern Gaza.
Family and medical condemnation
Gazan health and police officials told CBC that an Israeli strike and gunfire killed at least 10 Palestinians on Tuesday, including a 10-year-old boy and a senior Hamas police officer, and the deaths added to a toll of more than 1,100 Palestinians killed by Israeli attacks since the October ceasefire took effect.
Muataz Abu Shaar, 10, was shot on Tuesday by Israeli gunfire in Rafah, and his aunt Nawal Abu Shaar, 50, told a CBC News videographer, "Was he holding a gun? Or holding a rifle? He was playing alone in a tent,".
Doctors without Borders (MSF) condemned the latest attacks involving children, with Benoit Vasseur, MSF country co-ordinator, saying, "As this violence from Israeli forces continues, death and injury can strike at any moment."
In Jabalia, the Hamas-led interior ministry said in a statement that the dead included the head of the Jabalia police force, Col. Mohammad Marwan Salem, and the Israeli military said it killed Salem, describing him as the head of Hamas's central Jabalia battalion, along with three other militants.
The Israeli military also said it had targeted a militant in the area, while Haaretz reported that at least 10 people were killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, including six police officers and a woman killed in a drone strike on a police station in northern Gaza.
Ceasefire talks and humanitarian risk
The CBC report said the latest violence came as Hamas leaders visited Cairo for further talks on implementing the second phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan, with discussions including Hamas disarmament and Israeli army withdrawals.
According to the same CBC account, Hamas says Israel's violations of the ceasefire are a key obstacle to implementing the second phase of Trump's plan, while nearly all of Gaza's two million people now live on a tiny strip of land along the coast, mainly in makeshift tents or damaged buildings, under Hamas control.
The Middle East Monitor said the strikes came amid continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, and it cited the Gaza Health Ministry as saying since Israel’s genocide began on Oct. 8, 2023, more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 173,000 injured.
In addition to the deaths, the sources described ongoing pressure on civilians and aid operations, with CBC noting MSF treated four children between the ages of eight and 14 who were hit by stray bullets from Israeli forces since Thursday.
France 24 reported that the Palestinian Civil Defense told AFP that ten people, including a child, were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the north of the Gaza Strip, and it quoted Mahmoud Bassal, spokesperson for the emergency rescue organization operating under Hamas's authority, saying, "Four martyrs, including a child, and several wounded were transported to Al-Chifa Hospital in Gaza City".
