The outlet Abu Ali Express reports an Israeli strike in the Jabalia refugee camp killed seven Hamas police operatives, naming them and noting one was a female officer. The report is single-sourced and unconfirmed by Israeli or independent sources.
At 12:47 Jerusalem, Abu Ali Express reported the death toll from the Israeli strike on a Hamas police station in the Jabalia refugee camp had risen to ten, including the local police commander Muhammad Salem. By 14:00 Jerusalem, the same outlet published the names of seven police operatives it said were killed in that strike, identifying them as patrol officer Muhammad Salem, traffic officer Yaman Abid, and policewoman Fatima Zaqout, among others. This naming update provides specific identities for the casualties previously reported in broad figures, though it remains single-sourced.
The Zioneer has tracked the development since the first report at 12:47 Jerusalem, when Gazan sources cited by security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported four killed in an airstrike on a Hamas police station in the Falluja area of Jabalia. Within the same minute, the toll was updated to five, then seven, and eventually to ten, with the identification of the local police commander among the dead. A separate report at the same time cited four killed in another Jabalia strike, though it remains unclear whether it refers to the same incident. All reports originate from the single outlet Abu Ali Express and have not been corroborated by the IDF or independent sources.
As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, the IDF has intensified strikes on Hamas police and military infrastructure in Gaza. On June 27, a drone strike eliminated three Hamas police officers in central Gaza, and on June 12, precision strikes killed senior Hamas and Islamic Jihad commanders preparing imminent attacks. The Jabalia strike appears to be part of this broader pattern of targeting police and operative positions.
It remains unclear whether the Muhammad Salem named as a patrol officer is the same figure as the police commander identified earlier, or if the two reports refer to different individuals. The IDF has not issued a statement on the strike or the reported casualties. The reports remain single-sourced, pending verification from additional channels.
