An Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in western Gaza City killed Gaza City police chief Colonel Jamal Abu Kamil, 43, and critically wounded two others on Thursday, Al Jazeera reported, citing Gaza’s interior ministry.
Abu Kamil was one of two Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes on Thursday, according to Reuters. An earlier Israeli strike on a motorbike in western Khan Younis killed one person and wounded another.
An Israeli drone strike in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, also critically wounded one person on Wednesday, according to Gaza medics.
Israel has continued to carry out near-daily strikes despite the ceasefire that took effect on 10 October 2025.
