Israeli strikes killed at least three Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday, including two members of the Hamas-run police force, health officials said, in violence that underscored the fragility of a US-brokered ceasefire. Medics said an airstrike killed one person in the Maghazi refugee camp, while another killed the head of the criminal police force in Khan Younis, Wessam Abdel-Hadi, and his aide, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run interior ministry. Reuters has previously reported that Israel has heightened its attacks on Gaza’s Hamas-run police force, which the militant group has used to re-establish governance in areas under its control. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on either incident. The blast that killed the two police officers left only a mangled metal skeleton where their car had stood in the Al-Amal neighbourhood of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Mourners chanted “there is no God but Allah, the martyrs are beloved by Allah” as the men’s white-shrouded bodies were carried on shoulders through the streets during the funeral.
