ISTANBUL, July 26 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- The Israeli army killed the head of the Internal Security Directorate in central Gaza and another officer in an airstrike targeting their vehicle in Deir al-Balah on Sunday, Anadolu Ajansi reported, citing the territory’s Interior Ministry.

In a statement, the ministry said Colonel Wael Mousa al-Ladawi, 44, and Major Ramez Tawfiq Abu Zureiq, 49, were killed in the strike.

The ministry said the two police officers were travelling in a vehicle in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza when it was hit by an Israeli aircraft.

The attack came despite a ceasefire agreement in effect in Gaza since Oct 10, 2025.
