Hamas’s Interior Ministry in Gaza says that the head of the investigations department of the Khan Younis police, Faez Abd al-Hadi — an officer holding a rank equivalent to lieutenant colonel — and another policeman with the rank of sergeant were killed in an IDF strike on a vehicle in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

Earlier, media outlets in Gaza reported that two people were killed and several others wounded in the strike, which took place in the al-Amal neighborhood of Khan Younis.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
