Among the dead from an Israeli air attack that killed at least 11 people in the al-Mawasi “humanitarian zone” were the Gaza police chief Mahmud Salah and his deputy Hussam Shahwan, Al Jazeera reports, citing Gaza’s interior ministry.
The interior ministry condemned the killing of the two police officers saying “they were performing their humanitarian and national duty in serving our people”.
“By committing the assassination, the occupation continues to spread chaos in the Strip and deepen the human suffering of citizens. The police force is a civil protection force that works to provide services to citizens,” it said.
