The Israeli army has said it killed two Hamas officials who served in the police forces in Gaza in air strikes, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement on X, the army said Zaher al-Houli, a senior police officer who works in central Gaza camps, was targeted in a strike on Sunday.

A separate attack killed Rami Khalil Faki, who the Israeli military claims is a member of Hamas’s military wing, and a senior officer in the Nuseirat police in central Gaza.

Faki’s deputy and four other Hamas members were killed in the attack that took place on Saturday, it added.
