‘Cycle of chaos’: Israel killing Gaza civil officials to derail its future
GCC News
Despite a months-long ceasefire, analysts say Israel’s relentless attacks aim to prevent Palestinian recovery, sabotage the Trump plan and pave the way for permanent occupation.
An Israeli attack in northern Gaza’s Jabalia camp on Tuesday killed the director of a police station and several officers, adding to a mounting civilian death toll.
Despite a months-long “ceasefire”, Israel continues to launch deadly raids across the Palestinian territory, citing the presence of Hamas fighters and “imminent threats”.

However, political and strategic analysts warn that these daily incursions are not isolated security operations, but rather part of what appears to be a calculated pattern to kill law enforcement officers, medical professionals, government officials and intellectuals.

Since the “ceasefire” agreement took effect, Israel has conditioned the international community to accept daily breaches and killings in Gaza as the new normal, effectively acting as if the pact does not restrict its military freedom, analysts said.

Market & Policy
According to the Government Media Office in Gaza, there have been 3,689 recorded Israeli violations during the 275-day “ceasefire”, resulting in 1,122 Palestinians killed and 3,599 injured. Furthermore, the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate under the ceasefire, with Israel allowing only 35 percent of the expected aid trucks and 36 percent of permitted travellers to cross the borders.
The deliberate targeting of Gaza’s civic foundation extends far beyond military objectives, deeply affecting those tasked with maintaining order and providing essential services.
The United Nations Human Rights Office (OHCHR) reported that Israeli attacks are systematically targeting police officers, whose role is essential for civic order and any future reconstruction. Since January 2026, OHCHR has recorded at least 12 attacks on police, killing 35 personnel, including officers targeted while directing traffic or overseeing markets. In one instance, on May 23, an Israeli attack on a Gaza City checkpoint killed at least five officers.
