Israel launches airstrikes in Gaza, killing at least 12 Palestinians

Here is a rewritten version of the article in a neutral newsroom style:

Israel has reportedly killed 12 Palestinians in attacks throughout the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources. The incidents occurred on Friday and included an attack on a police vehicle in Khan Younis that resulted in at least eight fatalities, including three civilians. A separate attack in Gaza City also claimed the lives of two police officers.

The Ministry of Interior in Gaza has called on the international community to intervene and put an end to Israeli targeting of local police forces. The ministry stated that the attack in Khan Younis occurred after security personnel intervened to break up a fight in the area.

Gaza’s Ministry of Interior emphasized that police services are essential for maintaining order in civilian areas, and there is no justification for targeting them or their personnel. The ministry also noted that Israel has been systematically killing police officers in Gaza since its occupation of the territory began.

According to health authorities, at least 984 people have been killed and 2,235 others injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since a ceasefire was announced last year. The overall death toll in the war has surpassed 72,500, with more than 172,000 others injured. Thousands of people are believed to be missing and presumed dead.

Hamas has condemned the recent attacks as part of Israel’s “unprecedented bloody approach”. The organization stated that the escalation represents a failure by the international community to uphold the truce in Gaza.
