Hamas says IDF drone strike on Gaza policemen is a ‘serious violation’ of ceasefire

Hamas says an Israeli airstrike that killed three of its police officers today near the southern Gaza city of Rafah constitutes “a serious violation” of the ceasefire in effect since January 19.

“The treacherous firing carried out by a Zionist drone this morning east of Rafah city, targeting police elements tasked with securing the entry of aid… is considered a serious violation of the ceasefire agreement,” Hamas says.

The IDF said earlier that the drone strike “targeted a group of gunmen who were approaching Israeli forces in the area.”
