Security analyst Yair Goldblatt published the names of seven Hamas police operatives killed in a strike on a police station in the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, including one identified as a female officer. The list has not been officially confirmed by the IDF, and the report is single-sourced.
Earlier today, security analyst Yair Goldblatt published the names of seven Hamas police operatives he says were killed in an Israeli strike on a police station in the Jabalia refugee camp, including one female officer. The publication follows a report from the outlet Abu Ali Express that also named the seven, and is part of a sequence of reports that have tracked the toll since the initial strike.
The reports began at 12:47 Jerusalem, when Gazan sources cited by Goldblatt reported four killed in a strike on a Hamas police post in the Falluja area of Jabalia. The toll was then updated to five, then to seven, with the commander of the Hamas police station in Jabalia, Muhammad Salem, identified among the dead. Shortly after, Abu Ali Express named the seven operatives, and now Goldblatt has published the same names, citing his own sources. Neither the IDF nor independent sources have confirmed any of the names.
The strike is part of ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza targeting Hamas police and military infrastructure. In previous incidents, the IDF has published names of operatives after strikes, as reported by The Zioneer on July 5, but in this case the military has not commented.
What remains open: The identities published by Goldblatt and by Abu Ali Express have not been independently verified. The IDF has not confirmed the strike or the specific operatives. The link between the killed operatives and broader Hamas command structures in northern Gaza is not yet established.
