At least eight Palestinians, including a four-year-old boy, have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza, hospital sources told Al Jazeera.
An Israeli drone attack killed five Palestinian police officers and wounded several people in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza on Sunday.
Israeli forces had targeted a number of police officers while they were “performing their routine duties”, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Interior and National Security.
The ministry condemned the “horrific massacre” and called on the international community “to take urgent action and exert pressure” on Israel to stop its killing of policemen.
It said in a statement at least 75 police officers and security personnel have been killed by Israel since the “ceasefire” with Hamas came into effect in October last year.
