# Gaza: Multiple Casualties from Israeli Strikes

Israeli military operations in Gaza on Tuesday resulted in multiple deaths across separate incidents. A ten-year-old boy was shot and killed by Israeli forces in Rafah in southern Gaza, while three other Palestinians were killed in strikes on Gaza City. Additionally, Israeli air strikes on a police station in northern Gaza killed between seven and eight people, according to different official reports.

The strike on the northern Gaza police station resulted in the deaths of police personnel, including a senior officer and a female police officer, as well as at least one civilian. Gaza's interior ministry characterized the operation as a "horrific massacre," while Israel's military said the strike targeted "terrorists." Al-Shifa hospital and Gaza's civil defence agency confirmed the casualties.

The incidents represent a continuation of Israeli military operations across Gaza's territory, affecting civilians and security personnel in populated areas. Gaza's interior ministry and other local officials have condemned the strikes, while Israel maintains that its operations target militant positions and personnel.
