In the ongoing conflict that has reshaped daily life across Gaza, an Israeli airstrike struck a police facility in the territory's northern reaches, killing seven people. The strike, confirmed by local officials on Tuesday, is one thread in a longer pattern of military operations that have drawn civilian infrastructure — police posts, hospitals, schools — into the theater of war. As the toll accumulates, the ancient question of how societies distinguish between combatant and civilian space grows ever more urgent, and the international community watches, weighs, and debates its response.
