Israeli attacks across Gaza on Tuesday killed at least nine Palestinians, including a 10-year-old boy, officials in Gaza have told Reuters, as the IDF continues its constant violations of the US-backed ceasefire deal.
The 10-year-old boy, identified as Muataz Abu Shaar, was killed by Israeli gunfire near Rafah, southern Gaza. Another Palestinian was killed, and several others were injured by an airstrike in the southern city of Khan Younis.
Another attack targeted a police post in Jabalia, northern Gaza, killing at least seven Palestinians, including a woman and a senior police official.
Israel has ramped up attacks on Gaza’s police in recent months as it seeks to disrupt Hamas’s control and further destabilize the small area of Gaza where Palestinian civilians live, outside of the IDF-occupied zone.
Gaza’s Interior Ministry said that among those killed were Colonel Mohammad Marwan Salem, the head of the Jabalia police force, and several other police officers. Police officials told Reuters that the IDF has killed dozens of police officers in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire deal was signed in October 2025.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said in its daily update that since the agreement was signed, the Israeli military has killed at least 1,110 Palestinians in Gaza and has wounded 3,599. The IDF has also violated the deal by taking more territory in Gaza and now controls around 70% of the Strip.
