Three Palestinian police officers were martyred in an Israeli drone strike on Sunday morning while securing aid distribution in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
The officers, identified as Ibrahim Saadi Al-Zamili, Yousef Khaled Al-Zamili, and Bilal Ali Al-Maghari, were targeted by an Israeli drone as they worked to maintain order and assist civilians in the Al-Shawka area east of Rafah.

The Gazan Ministry of Interior condemned the Israeli crime and called on the international community to pressure ‘Israel’ to stop attacks on the police force, which it described as a civilian body tasked with providing security and services to citizens.
The deadly strike comes amid ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement by the Israeli occupation, with reports indicating that Israeli occupation military vehicles opened fire along the Philadelphi axis south of Rafah earlier on Sunday.
