Gazan sources report that four people were killed in a strike targeting a Hamas police jeep near Abu Sarar Square in Nuseirat, central Gaza, a short time ago.
The incident reportedly took place in a busy area of the Nuseirat refugee camp. Further details regarding the identities of those killed and the circumstances of the strike are still unclear at this stage.
NEWSRAEL: WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
This reported strike highlights continued precision targeting of Hamas-affiliated infrastructure and personnel in central Gaza, including within densely populated areas. This mirrors Israel’s current campaign against Iran’s Basij militia, a paramilitary force embedded inside civilian areas and used to enforce regime control and suppress opposition. Recent strikes have targeted not only senior commanders but also street-level checkpoints and operatives to weaken that internal grip.
If this pattern continues in Gaza, it suggests the IDF may increasingly view armed Hamas police and enforcement units as legitimate military targets—similar to how Basij forces are being treated inside Iran.
