Israeli strike kills colonel in Gaza police force, say Palestinian medics

A senior officer in Gaza's Interior Ministry has been killed in an Israeli air strike near the al-Mawasi area in western Khan Younis city. The officer, a colonel in the police force, was leading the anti-narcotics force in Khan Younis. The attack also wounded at least 17 other people. Israel has intensified its attacks, killing at least three Palestinians near Gaza City, bringing the day's death toll to at least four. Violence in Gaza has persisted despite a United States-brokered ceasefire.
