Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have killed at least a dozen people over the past two days, local health officials said on July 15, as attacks continue almost daily despite a months-old ceasefire with Hamas. The deaths were reported in central and southern Gaza, as well as in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the north.

Among those killed were three members of one family in central Gaza, a woman, six police officers, a man and a child, according to hospital officials. The Israeli military said four of the police officers killed in Jabaliya were Hamas militants, but it did not provide evidence or say what role they had in planning or carrying out attacks.

Al Aqsa Hospital officials said three members of a family were killed in central Gaza on Wednesday. On July 14, hospital officials said an airstrike on a police station in the densely populated Jabaliya refugee camp killed a woman and six police officers. Nasser Hospital officials said a man was killed in the bombing of a tent camp in Khan Younis in the south, while hospital officials also reported that Israeli forces shot dead a child in the Muwasi area outside Rafah.
