Breaking news Israel Says It Killed Head Of Police Station In Northern Gaza Lastminute news
Israeli army claims Radwan Radwan was Hamas internal security official in Jabalia area.
The Israeli army said Friday that it killed Radwan Radwan, head of the Jabalia al-Nazla police station and the head of the committee for securing aid in northern Gaza, in a raid on Thursday claiming that he was the Hamas internal security official in the Jabalia area.
"An air force unit, in cooperation with the Gaza Division and the General Security Service (Shin Bet), killed Radwan Muhammad Abdullah Radwan, the internal security official in the Jabalia region affiliated with the Hamas organization, yesterday (Thursday)," the Israeli army said in a statement.
The army claimed that Radwan "is considered one of the members of the organization's military wing," in reference to the Al-Qassam Brigades.
It also claimed it had "eliminated" Hamed Muhammad Ali Ahmed, "a commander in the Hamas military wing," adding that he was "in charge of operations for the internal security of Hamas in Jabalia."
The army also claimed that it had eliminated "another Hamas member who belonged to the Jabalia Brigade."
There was no comment from the Hamas group on the Israeli allegations.
On Thursday, medical sources confirmed to Anadolu that the head of the Jabalia al-Nazla police station and head of the committee for securing aid in the northern Gaza Strip was killed as a result of an Israeli airstrike targeting his house.
Israel has waged a military offensive on the Gaza Strip since an Oct. 7 cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas which killed around 1,200 people.
More than 33,600 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the war began.
Israel has also imposed a crippling blockade on the seaside enclave, leaving its population, particularly residents of northern Gaza, on the verge of starvation.
The war has pushed 85% of Gaza's population into internal displacement amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while much of the enclave's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which has urged it to do more to prevent famine in Gaza.
