At least six Palestinians were killed after Israeli drone attacks hit police sites in central and southern Gaza, amid continued fighting in the war-battered enclave. Local sources said the overnight strikes targeted a police post near the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip and another checkpoint in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis in the south. Medical officials at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis said four bodies and several injured people were brought to the hospital after a strike on a police checkpoint at the al-Maslakh intersection. Some of the wounded were in critical condition. In a separate attack, two more Palestinians were killed and others injured when an Israeli drone struck a police post at the entrance of the Bureij refugee camp. Hamas condemned the attacks, saying they showed Israel’s disregard for efforts by mediators to maintain calm. A Hamas spokesperson said the ongoing strikes reflect a continued campaign against the Palestinian people despite talk of ceasefire efforts. Meanwhile, the Gaza Crossings and Borders Authority said limited movement continued through the Rafah crossing. On Thursday, 50 Palestinians travelled to Egypt, including patients and their companions, while 41 people returned to Gaza. The authority also said 286 trucks entered Gaza on the same day, including commercial and aid vehicles. Aid groups say the number is far below what is needed to meet basic humanitarian needs, as shortages of food and medicine persist due to restrictions on aid entry. The situation in Gaza remains dire, with international agencies warning that continued attacks and limits on humanitarian access are deepening the crisis for civilians.   With inputs from ALJAZEERA
