Israel kills senior Hamas-led police official in Gaza, medics say
An Israeli airstrike on Saturday killed Brig.-General Abdel-Nasser Al-Maqadma, the head of the Hamas-led police force in the northern Gaza Strip, according to the Hamas-run interior ministry and medics. Maqadma, also known as the governor of the northern Gaza Strip, was killed in the Sheikh Radwan area. The Israeli military stated he was also part of Hamas’ military wing, while Hamas claims attacks on its police force are intended to "sow chaos and anarchy."
- Other Israeli strikes on Saturday killed a Palestinian medic in the Nuseirat refugee camp, two individuals in Khan Younis, and a high school student, Khaled Al-Breim, also in Khan Younis.
- These deaths contribute to a toll of over 1,180 Palestinians killed by Israeli attacks since an October ceasefire, which halted full-scale fighting but not near-daily strikes.
- Peace talks aimed at advancing a US plan for ending the conflict, involving Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawals, have shown little progress.
