Gazan authorities raise the toll in an Israeli strike on a Gaza City police station to nine killed, with 15 injured, according to Palestinian news outlets operating in the Strip.

The Hamas-controlled interior ministry accuses Israel of attempting to sow chaos in the Strip by targeting the police force.

The military says terror operatives were targeted in the strike.
