A Palestinian health official told Xinhua reporters on the 24th that the Israeli military launched attacks on multiple locations in the Gaza Strip on the day, killing 12 people, including 6 Gaza police officers belonging to the Interior Ministry controlled by the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). The official said that in the afternoon, the Israeli army shelled several residential buildings near a hospital in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahia, killing 3 people and injuring many others.

Late that evening, the Palestinian Ministry of the Interior issued a statement saying that the Israeli army carried out an attack on a police patrol in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in the northern part of Gaza City on that day. In addition, a police vehicle in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis was hit by an Israeli bomb after its mission was completed. The statement said that the attacks on the day resulted in the deaths of 6 police officers and 3 civilians. Since the ceasefire went into effect in October of last year, the total number of fallen Palestinian police officers has reached 31.

In a statement released on the evening of the 24th, the Israel Defense Forces said that earlier that day, units under the Southern Command operating in the northern Gaza Strip discovered Hamas armed personnel and carried out an airstrike that eliminated them.

On the evening of the 24th, Hamas issued a statement condemning the Israeli bombing of civilian residential homes in the northern Gaza Strip and an Israeli attack on a police vehicle in Khan Younis that killed more than ten people, calling it a “fascist” war crime. The statement also noted that this exposed the failures of the ceasefire mediation country, the guarantor country, and the international community in preventing Israel’s crimes. The statement called on the international community and all relevant parties to immediately take action to force Israel to honor the ceasefire agreement and to respect international law and humanitarian principles.
