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.

Interior minister reviews Diplomatic Enclave development, orders new security plan
– Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi Tuesday visited Diplomatic Enclave to monitor the ongoing development work and assess progress on critical infrastructure projects.
During the visit, the minister also reviewed building works and instructed the officials to accelerate the pace of work while ensuring protection of nature and better facilities for the people.
The minister evaluated progress on boundary wall, remodelling of security checkpoints, cycling track and walking track being created inside the Diplomatic Enclave. He said the construction of boundary wall should continue without any break and asked the authorities to guarantee that no trees are cut during the implementation of the projects.
Mohsin Naqvi also instructed the officials to prepare the cycling and walking trails in line with modern planning standards to provide improved recreational amenities inside the enclave. He also asked the involved departments to enlarge the roads in the region to make the traffic flow and accessibility easier.
During the visit, the Interior Minister directed the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Security to formulate an updated and comprehensive security strategy for the Diplomatic Enclave. He said the enclave needed a security architecture that matches current standards and accommodates the needs of diplomatic missions and residents.
Parks within the Diplomatic Enclave would also be restored and enhanced, the minister said. He said the government wants to make the enclave a safe and well-run diplomatic zone with upgraded public areas and infrastructure.
Mohsin Naqvi asked the officers to offer facilities to the residents of Diplomatic Enclave as per international norms.
The Chairman Capital Development Authority (CDA) briefed the minister on the progress of the ongoing development projects and future plans for the enclave. Officials discussed the building timetable and the steps for implementation.
The deputy commissioner Islamabad and other top authorities were also present during the visit and evaluated the development of the projects along with the interior minister.

England drop Carse following club incident inquiry
England fast bowler Brydon Carse has been dropped from the squad for the second test against Pakistan following an investigation into an incident at a club in Derby, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Monday.
“Following a referral from the ECB, the Cricket Regulator has confirmed that they will investigate events on Saturday night in Derby,” the ECB said in a statement.
“Brydon Carse will no longer be available for selection for the second men’s test while this investigation is ongoing and the full facts are obtained.”
Carse, who did not play in the opening test victory at Headingley, will be replaced by Sonny Baker.
Videos circulated on social media appearing to show the 31-year-old Durham bowler in handcuffs being spoken to by police officers outside a venue. According to reports, Carse was not arrested and no charges were brought.
It has been a busy summer for England’s Cricket Regulator, the body set up to investigate matters where there is an allegation of a breach of the ECB’s code of conduct.
In June it concluded an investigation into former test captain Ben Stokes and fast bowler Gus Atkinson after a nightclub incident following the first test against New Zealand.
Both were left out of the second test before the Regulator ruled that there was insufficient evidence to establish that any regulatory breach occurred.
The latest investigation comes five days after England’s returning test captain Joe Root spoke of the players being “really good role models and human beings” following a series of incidents and accusations of a drinking culture.
Controversy has followed England around in recent times with off-field issues during last winter’s tours, including Harry Brook being fined £30,000 ($41,000) following an altercation in Wellington as well as reports of drinking during a mid-Ashes series trip to Noosa.
Stokes retired from international cricket after returning for the third test against New Zealand and Brendon McCullum was sacked as test coach.

Trump popularity rating holds steady at 33% as American support for conflict with Iran drops
US public approval of the war with Iran fell to its lowest level since the conflict’s early days, helping to hold President Donald Trump’s popularity at a record low, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Monday.
The four-day poll showed just 31% of Americans support US military action against Iran, down from 37% in a March Reuters/Ipsos poll and 34% earlier this month. The decline was driven by fewer self-identified Republicans backing the conflict. Some 69% of Republican respondents support the war, compared with 77% in March.
The war has been dragging on Trump’s public standing this year, and for the second survey in a row just 33% of respondents said they approved of the Republican’s performance in the White House, the lowest level in Reuters/Ipsos polls in Trump’s first or second term.
Trump has told Americans that the war – which started with US-Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28 – is necessary to keep Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon. The conflict has cooled in recent months but Iran has kept in place a de facto blockade of oil exports from the region, which has pushed US gasoline prices near record highs.
Trump has vowed to ramp up economic pressure on Iran and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday announced a possible expansion of sanctions on countries doing business with the country, but stopped short of actually imposing penalties, a sign of how thorny the conflict has become for the administration.
Fears of a long war
Some 83% of the country thinks the war will go on “for an extended period of time,” the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll found, up from 80% earlier this month.
Trump campaigned ahead of the 2024 presidential election on promises to control inflation and avoid lengthy military conflicts. Six months into the war with Iran, US gasoline prices are more than a dollar higher per gallon than they were before the war. That is weighing on Trump’s Republican allies who will be defending narrow congressional majorities in the November 3 midterm elections.
Independent voters in the poll favoured Democrats over Republicans – 33% to 19% – when asked who they would vote for in congressional elections if the election were held today.
The poll surveyed 1,215 US adults nationwide and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points in either direction.
