At least 12 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes across Gaza on Friday, according to medical sources cited by Al Jazeera. The attacks, which violated an existing ceasefire, included a strike on a police vehicle in Khan Younis that killed eight people, among them three civilians. Two police officers were killed in a separate attack in Gaza City, while two others died in a bombing on a house in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.

The Gaza Interior Ministry urged the international community to intervene to stop the attacks, stating that the Khan Younis strike occurred after security forces attempted to halt a local clash. In its statement, the ministry criticized what it described as the silence of international organizations over attacks targeting civilian police, calling such inaction indirect cooperation with Israeli occupation forces.

The ministry warned that continued silence could encourage further violence, emphasizing the need for immediate international response to prevent escalation.
