Ambulances rushed to Gaza City on Wednesday (August 19) as people carried casualties following an Israeli airstrike that killed nine Palestinians at a police station, according to medics.

The strike came two days after U.S. envoy Jared Kushner ended a trip to the region that failed to push forward Donald Trump's plan to end the war in the enclave.

Medics and police sources said several officers, some of them high-ranking, were among those killed at what the Hamas-led interior ministry said was the headquarters of the municipal police. Fifteen others were wounded, they said.

The Israeli military did not comment on the strike.

More than 1,200 Palestinians and four Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza since a ceasefire was reached last October, according to Gazan health officials and the Israeli military.

“We woke up to a hit (strike). They (referring to Israel) killed the people, from the elderly, children, and women - and they say we are speaking about a truce. Every day we say that there’s hope tomorrow, there’s hope after tomorrow, but the number of martyrs is increasing. Let the people grieve on us. Yesterday it was at the port, and today at the municipality park that is full of children.”
