Director of Nuseirat police among those killed in Gaza strike: Ministry
The Interior Ministry in Gaza reports that Colonel Omar Saeed Aql, director of Nuseirat police in the central governorate, was killed along with 11 of his family members when the Israeli army bombed their home earlier today.
The new “massacre” took place in the town of az-Zawayda in the central part of the besieged enclave, the ministry said, condemning it as a “heinous crime” in a statement.
“We renew our call to the international community and the United Nations to take a firm stance to stop the repeated Israeli violations against police personnel who perform civil duties and are protected from targeting under international law.”

Israeli forces arrest Palestinian fishermen off Gaza coast
The Palestinian Prisoner’s Media Office reports that three fishermen were arrested by Israeli forces near the Gaza port.
It said in a short statement that Israeli forces surrounded their boat and opened fire on them before arresting them.
The Israeli military has maintained a naval blockade on Gaza since 2007, when Hamas took over the enclave. The naval siege has only tightened since the start of the war in October 2023, with Israeli navy vessels blocking all humanitarian aid going into Gaza and firing on the coast and air strikes also hitting the coastal area repeatedly.
