Hamas has published a poster of six operatives it describes as 'policemen' who were killed today in an IDF strike on a police station in Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The strike targeted the police station, and the poster appears to be a propaganda effort. No further details on the identities or the timing of the strike were reported.
Hamas released a poster this evening depicting six operatives it describes as 'policemen' who were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a police station in Jabalia, northern Gaza, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The poster comes hours after the IDF confirmed the strike and identified four operatives it killed in the same operation, including a battalion security chief and a Nukhba operative. The discrepancy between the two counts — four versus six — has not been explained.
The IDF announced at 12:47 Jerusalem on Tuesday that it had struck a police station in Jabalia, killing Mohammed Marwan Mohammed Salem, head of military security for the Central Jabalia Battalion, along with three other operatives. The military later released their names and photos, stating the group had gathered to advance terror plots. Palestinian media reported seven killed in the strike at the time. The IDF has not commented on the Hamas poster.
The strike was part of ongoing Israeli operations in northern Gaza, where the IDF has targeted Hamas infrastructure and operatives. The Zioneer previously reported on the IDF's identification of the four operatives, which included Abd al-Malek Abu al-Jabin, a Nukhba Force operative and chief of investigations in the Hamas-run police, and two other battalion members. The region has seen repeated strikes in recent weeks.
It remains unclear whether the two additional individuals on the Hamas poster were killed in the same strike or elsewhere, and whether they are combatants or civilians. The poster is likely a propaganda effort, and no independent verification of the identities or casualty count has been possible.
