The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, affirmed that the escalation of Israeli attacks against police personnel in the Gaza Strip represents an organized terrorist crime aimed at undermining civil peace. The movement clarified in a press statement that the recent assassination of the director of detective police in Khan Yunis city comes within the context of the occupation's continuous attempts to undermine the pillars of internal stability.
The movement stressed that this criminal behavior directly seeks to perpetuate the state of security chaos and spread disorder among citizens in various areas of the Strip. It also indicated that the occupation aims through these targeting to obstruct any national efforts aimed at restoring normal life or facilitating relief and recovery operations from the effects of the ongoing aggression.
In field details, local sources reported the martyrdom of three members of the police force, including the director of Khan Yunis investigations, following an airstrike that targeted their vehicle on Sunday. The strike occurred in the Al-Amal neighborhood, west of Khan Yunis city, also resulting in eight injuries of varying severity among passersby and those present in the vicinity of the targeting.
This incident comes within a long series of operations targeting security and police officers who work to secure aid and organize the daily lives of residents. Observers believe that the pursuit of civilian security elements falls under the 'emptying the Strip of administration' policy pursued by the Israeli army for months to deepen the humanitarian crisis.
Hamas reiterated its demand for the international community and the guarantors of ceasefire agreements to urgently intervene to curb these repeated daily violations. The movement pointed out that international silence gives the occupation a green light to continue liquidating service and security personnel who represent the remaining lifeline for besieged civilians.
Official statistics contained in the statement revealed the martyrdom of more than 850 people since the understandings came into effect last October, reflecting the occupation's non-compliance with the truce. The movement concluded by emphasizing the need to provide immediate international protection for the Palestinian people and ensure the continued operation of relief and security institutions without military threat.
Continued targeting of the police system aims to perpetuate the state of security chaos and spread disorder, and to obstruct any efforts for recovery and the restoration of normal life to the Gaza Strip.
