Israeli airstrike during Gaza ceasefire reignites dispute over Hamas police targets

An Israeli airstrike killed three Palestinians in Gaza's Nuseirat camp on May 10, including two Hamas police officers, while a ceasefire remained formally in place. The strike exposes a fundamental disagreement: Israel considers Hamas police legitimate military targets integrated into command structures; Palestinians argue their policing functions warrant civilian protection. Ceasefire terms remain neither fully public nor consistently interpreted by both sides.
