The Gaza police chief and his deputy were killed in an Israeli air strike in the southern city of Khan Yunis today, the Interior Ministry said.
A ministry statement said Mahmoud Salah and his deputy Hussam Shahwan were killed in a dawn strike by the Israeli army.
Several people were reportedly killed in the attack.
The ministry accused the Israeli occupation army of “deliberately seeking to spread chaos in Gaza and exacerbate the humanitarian suffering of its citizens.”
It called the killing of the two police officials “a blatant disregard to international law” by targeting the police force “despite its role as a civil protection body.”
There was no comment from Israel on the attack.
