Gaza ceasefire violence continued Sunday as Israeli strikes killed at least three Palestinians, including two members of the Hamas-run police force, health officials said.
Medics said one Israeli airstrike killed one person and wounded two others in the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza. The Israeli military said it struck two militants who carried out “suspicious” activity and posed an immediate threat to forces in the area.
In Khan Younis in southern Gaza, another Israeli airstrike killed Wessam Abdel-Hadi, head of the criminal police force, and his aide, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run interior ministry. The Israeli military said it targeted members of an elite Hamas force operating to advance imminent attacks against Israeli forces.

— Reuters (@Reuters) May 10, 2026Reuters has previously reported that Israel has intensified attacks on Gaza’s Hamas-run police force. The report said Hamas has used force to re-establish governance in areas under its control.
Violence has persisted despite the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that took effect in October 2025. Local medics say Israeli attacks have killed at least 850 Palestinians since then, while Israel says militants have killed four of its soldiers over the same period.
Israel and Hamas have accused each other of violating the ceasefire. The Khan Younis strike left the remains of a vehicle in the Al-Amal neighbourhood, where mourners later carried the two men’s white-shrouded bodies through the streets.
Mourner Ali Mousa told Reuters that Israel was targeting police officers to create chaos in Gaza. Gaza health authorities say the war has killed more than 72,500 Palestinians since October 2023, most of them civilians.
