Israeli strikes kill two Palestinians including Gaza City police chief despite ceasefire
Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip on Thursday resulted in the deaths of two Palestinians, including Police Colonel Jamal Abu Kmail, the head of Gaza City鈥檚 police force. Gaza鈥檚 interior ministry confirmed Abu Kmail's assassination. Palestinian medics also reported that an Israeli strike in western Khan Younis targeted two individuals on a motorcycle, killing one and injuring the other. These incidents occurred despite a ceasefire that has been in effect since last October. Israeli forces have reportedly continued near-daily attacks since the ceasefire, leading to hundreds of Palestinian deaths and thousands of injuries. The latest strikes also follow US President Donald Trump鈥檚 recent announcement of a breakthrough plan to end the conflict, which included an Israeli military withdrawal, Hamas disarmament, and the deployment of an International Stabilization Force with a new Palestinian police force. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his rejection of Trump鈥檚 Gaza proposal in televised remarks to his government.
