Gaza Interior Ministry Mourns Five Police Officers Killed in Al-Mawasi and Calls for International Intervention to Stop Israeli Crimes
Gaza's Interior Ministry has mourned five police officers killed in an Israeli massacre in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, and called for international intervention to halt the targeting of police, which has left 75 martyrs since the ceasefire.
Gaza's Ministry of Interior and National Security has mourned five officers and members of the General Police Directorate who were killed in an Israeli massacre at noon on Sunday in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip.
In a press statement, the ministry said Israeli aircraft targeted the police officers while they were carrying out their regular work of maintaining the security of citizens, killing Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed Zakaria Al-Jamal (44), Major Bassam Neamat Miqdad (53), First Sergeant Mohammed Amin Al-Nims (37), Police Corporal Shaher Mohammed Zaarab (28), and Police Corporal Mohammed Ali Abu Shuar (23).
The ministry condemned the crime, stressing that the police force is a civilian body carrying out legal duties in preserving the security and safety of citizens.
It called on the international community to put an end to the systematic targeting of the police force and to act urgently to pressure the occupation to stop its crimes against it.
It noted that systematic targeting has led to the killing of 75 police officers and members since the ceasefire took effect in October last year.
