An Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed two Hamas policemen, breaching the ceasefire. The strike occurred near Rafah, with calls for international intervention.
CAIRO (Reuters) - An Israeli airstrike killed two policemen east of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday, the Hamas-run interior ministry said in a statement, calling it a breach of the fragile January 19 ceasefire.
It said the policemen were deployed in the area to secure the entry of aid trucks into Gaza. A third policeman was injured, it added.
"The ministry...condemns this crime and calls upon the mediators and the international community to compel the occupation to stop targeting the police force, which is a civil apparatus," the statement said.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the Hamas report.
