GAZA: An Israeli air strike killed nine Palestinians at a police station in Gaza on Wednesday, medics said, two days after US envoy Jared Kushner ended a trip to the region that failed to push forward Donald Trump's plan to end the war in the enclave. Medics and police sources ⁠said several officers, some of them high-ranking, were among those killed at what the Hamas-led interior ⁠ministry said was the headquarters of the municipal police. Fifteen others were wounded, they said.


Earlier on Wednesday, in Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, a separate Israeli air strike killed one Palestinian, medics said, taking Wednesday's death toll to at least 10.


On Tuesday, ​an ‌Israeli ⁠airstrike killed at least seven Palestinians, including a child, at a beachfront cafe, medics said. On Wednesday, a ​Hamas official said the group had told ceasefire mediators, Egypt, Qatar and ⁠Türkiye that if ​there was no halt to Israel's targeted attacks, "it would influence their stance on the agreement". — Reuters
