Hamas denounces Israel's killing of top Gaza police official Hamas condemned Israel’s killing of Colonel Jamal Abu Kamil, director of the civil police force in the Gaza governorate, calling it “a continuation of the brutal crimes committed by the occupation against our Palestinian people", according to Al Jazeera. The group said the killing was part of Israel’s “pathetic and failed attempts to spread chaos and lawlessness in the Gaza Strip". Israel has killed more than 1,250 Palestinians in near-daily strikes since the ceasefire took effect on 10 October 2025, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
