Despite US President Donald Trump's call for Israel to stop its attacks in the Gaza Strip, painful news continues to come from the region. The death toll from an Israeli army airstrike on a police station in Gaza City has risen to 9, with 15 people reported injured.

Despite US President Donald Trump's request for Israel to stop its attacks in the Gaza Strip, the death toll from an Israeli airstrike on Gaza City has risen to 9. It was reported that 15 people were also injured in the attack.

AIRSTRIKE ON POLICE POINT

While it was initially announced that 7 people had lost their lives and 15 people were injured, it was later reported that the death toll had risen to 9.

TRUMP HAD SAID "DON'T ATTACK"

The attack came after Trump clearly stated that Israel should halt its operations in Gaza. Trump noted that Hamas had agreed to lay down its arms and said that Israel should not continue its attacks on targets in Gaza.

While the Trump administration's efforts to achieve a ceasefire and a lasting political solution in Gaza continue, Israel's attacks are ongoing.

CAFE WAS ALSO TARGETED

Last evening, the Israeli army also targeted a cafe in Gaza City with a drone, and it was reported that 7 people lost their lives in the attack.

The continuation of attacks despite the ceasefire in effect in the region has brought the differences of opinion between Washington and Tel Aviv back to the agenda. According to Reuters, although the ceasefire that began in October 2025 ended large-scale clashes, Israel's attacks in Gaza did not completely stop.

THEY PHOTOGRAPHED THE HORROR 

Photographs coming from the region also revealed the pain experienced after the attack. Images of Gazans carrying the bodies of their loved ones on their shoulders once again exposed the heavy toll of the attacks on civilians, while the immense grief of families who lost their relatives was reflected in the photographs.
