STORYLINE:
The bodies of those killed and injured people were arriving at a hospital in Gaza’s Deir al-Balah on Monday after Israeli strikes killed eight people including a child and five policemen, health authorities said.
The dead policemen were in a vehicle securing aid in the Matahen area, south of the city of Deir al-Balah, when an Israeli airstrike hit them, according to the al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital where the bodies were taken.
Two other policemen were also wounded in the strike.
Members of The Associated Press counted the casualties at the hospital, which is the main medical facility in central Gaza.
In the built-up Bureij refugee camp, an Israeli strike hit an apartment, killing a child, the hospital said.
Two other men were killed in a strike that hit their three-wheel motorized vehicle in the central town of Zawaida, it said.
Hamas has ruled Gaza since seizing power from rival Palestinian forces in 2007.
It operates a police force numbering in the tens of thousands that provided a high degree of public security before the war.
But the police have largely disappeared as Israel has targeted them with airstrikes, contributing to the collapse of law and order and hindering aid delivery to the enclave.
Israel does not differentiate between Hamas’ armed wing and its government.
It says it is committed to destroying both after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack that ignited the war.
It also accuses Hamas of hijacking aid for its own purposes.
