According to an Israeli source cited by Google News, the head of Hamas’s northern Gaza police, popularly known as the “governor of North Gaza,” was killed in an Israeli strike that took place on Wednesday night.
The strike was part of the Israeli military’s broader offensive in the Gaza Strip. While the report does not specify the exact location or weapon used, it confirms the death of an officer who had been identified as a senior Hamas police official. The source notes that this figure had previously been involved in coordinating security operations across the northern sector of Gaza.
The strike occurs amid a protracted conflict between Israel and Hamas that escalated with an unprecedented Hamas barrage in October and subsequent Israeli retaliation. Targeting high‑rank Hamas personnel is a central component of Israel’s strategy to degrade Hamas’s command structure.
