Three citizens were killed and others were injured on Sunday when an Israeli drone bombed a group of Palestinian policemen east of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip.

The Ministry of Interior in Gaza announced in a statement that two police officers were killed and a third was seriously injured as a result of Israeli shelling that targeted them while they were deployed to secure aid in the Al-Shawka area east of Rafah this morning.

The Ministry condemned this crime, calling on mediators and the international community to pressure the occupation to stop targeting the police force, as it is a civilian body that provides services to maintain the security of citizens and organize their daily affairs.

Israel continues to violate the ceasefire agreement, which has entered its 29th day.
