Three Palestinians killed in Israeli attack on car in central Gaza Strip

Three Palestinians were killed and numerous others wounded in an Israeli strike on a car in central Gaza Strip.

Palestine’s Ministry of the Interior and National Security condemned the incident, which happened Friday in the Maghazi refugee camp in Deir el-Balah, stating the victims were all police personnel.

“Their vehicle was treacherously bombed by the Israeli occupation forces,” a ministry statement posted on Telegram claimed.

The three dead were identified as Captain Mansour Sami Shahtout, Captain Mohammed Khaled Nofal and First Sergeant Mahdi Nader Jabr.

Wafa news agency stated the strikes targeted a truck near the entrance to the Maghazi refugee camp, while Anadolu news agency reported an Israeli combat drone launched at least two missiles at the vehicle, sparking a fire that killed and injured people.

Video witness testimonies revealed a civilian vehicle on fire after being struck on Salah al-Din Street near the entrance to Maghazi camp.

The bodies were transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, reports said.

The Ministry of Interior said in a statement that the occupation’s horrific crime against civil police troops, is an act that shows its desire to cause unrest in the Gaza Strip, condemning it.

It restated its “call on the international community and the guarantor states of the ceasefire agreement to put pressure on the occupying forces to cease their repeated targeting of the police force, its personnel and its resources.”

In Gaza, the US-brokered “ceasefire” deal has been in place since October 10, 2025, but violations continue to be reported around the territory, with Israel continuing its attacks.

GAZA ‘CEASEFIRE’ DEVELOPMENTS

As ground attacks continue, Hamas said it was in talks with other Palestinian factions and regional mediators to seek understandings that would assure complete execution of the Gaza “ceasefire” deal.

“These discussions are about the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement including what remains of the first phase and the mechanisms for implementing the second phase,” Hazem Qassem, a spokesman for Hamas, told Anadolu on Friday.

He noted that a delegation from Hamas and other Palestinian factions is due in Cairo in the next few days to respond to fresh proposed methods.

Qassem said Palestinian factions had established understandings that were accepted by mediators, before Board of Peace envoy Nikolay Mladenov put forward what he called “different approaches” that Hamas and the factions are currently reviewing finally.

“We hope that the efforts of the mediators and Mr. Mladenov will make the occupation to implement what was agreed on, especially the humanitarian aspects of the first phase, then to go to the second phase with all its complications,” Qassem added.

“Israel continues to commit major and ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement, including restrictions on humanitarian aid and continuing killings,” Qassem said.

He told Anadolu that Israel has widened the “yellow line” into new regions of Gaza, with displacement and demolitions of homes, and that more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire went into effect.

“These violations require, on the one hand, a clear position from the mediators to pressure the occupation, and on the other, serious work to bring the national committee to Gaza so that a real relief and reconstruction process can start,” he said.

We don’t want the repetition of the starvation regime forced on our people while the world watches and does nothing. “Killing and destruction cannot continue while the world watches,” he continued.An Israeli strike on a car in the central Gaza Strip killed three Palestinians and wounded several more.
