Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reports that an IDF strike on a Hamas police point in Jabaliya, northern Gaza Strip, eliminated six operatives, including station commander Abu Inas Salem. The tally does not include policewoman Fatma Zakout, who was also killed in the same strike, according to Goldblatt.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported Tuesday afternoon that an IDF strike on a Hamas police point in Jabaliya, northern Gaza, eliminated six operatives, including the station commander, Abu Inas Salem. Goldblatt also noted that policewoman Fatma Zakout was killed in the same strike, but is not counted among the six. The strike is the latest in a series of Israeli operations targeting Hamas security infrastructure in the Strip.
The Zioneer has been tracking this event since Tuesday at 12:47 Jerusalem, when initial Gazan sources reported an airstrike on a Hamas police post in the Falluja area of Jabaliya, killing four people. Within minutes, the reported death toll rose to five, then to seven, and the target was identified as a Hamas police station. By 12:47, multiple reports — from Abu Ali Express and Goldblatt — converged, naming seven operatives, including a female officer. A commander was first identified as Muhammad Salem, later corrected to Abu Inas Salem. Over subsequent updates, the tally was revised to six operatives plus Fatma Zakout, with Goldblatt releasing an AI-generated image of the six. The reports remain single-sourced, lacking official IDF or independent confirmation.
The targeting of Hamas police infrastructure in Jabaliya is part of a broader Israeli campaign against Hamas security and military assets in Gaza. The Zioneer has previously reported on the elimination of other Hamas police commanders, including the Rafah crossing police director in Khan Younis on July 2, and the killing of a Hamas cell leader in a southern Gaza tent camp on June 6.
As of Tuesday at 16:02 Jerusalem, the full list of those killed and their affiliations has not been independently confirmed by official Israeli or Palestinian sources. The discrepancy between the commander's name in earlier reports (Muhammad Salem) and the current identification (Abu Inas Salem) has not been resolved.
