Coinciding with the threat of invasion, Rafah police are in the eye of Israeli targeting. Palestinian circles place this targeting in the context of a “systematic plan” whose goal is to confuse the internal front and create chaos and security chaos.
12 leaders and members of the police of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) were martyred in the city of Rafah as a result of Israeli air strikes that targeted their personal cars and official cars. The police director reassured Rafah residents and those displaced there that the police forces “will continue to carry out their tasks to maintain security and stability”
