Israel bombards Gaza police post, killing seven; Hamas and Israel dispute target

Israeli forces carried out an airstrike on a police post in Gaza. The attack resulted in the deaths of seven individuals. Hamas officials asserted the strike hit Gaza’s civil security facilities. Israel maintained the target was a group of “terrorists.” The incident occurs as Israel has intensified its campaign in Gaza.
