Gaza’s interior ministry has released a statement denouncing Israel’s “assassination of the director of police investigations for central Gaza and his escort while they were carrying out their police duty this morning”.
The ministry identified the official as Colonel Zaher al-Houli.
Four other police officers were killed by Israeli troops in Nuseirat refugee camp last night as well, the ministry said.
“The repeated targeting of police officers and members of the police service aims to spread chaos within Palestinian society,” it said.
“We reiterate that the police is a civilian body protected under international law and the assassination of police officers is unjustified.”
