The exact number of police members among those killed in the Bureij strike remains unclear.The Israeli military stated that its operation in Bureij was conducted after members of the militant group Hamas approached the yellow line, which delineates the portion of Gaza occupied by Israel.

This week alone, Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 25 people in Gaza.The October agreement between Israel and Hamas was intended to halt violence in the Palestinian territory. However, health officials in Gaza report that Israeli attacks have killed at least 700 people since then. Conversely, Israel states that militant attacks have killed four of its soldiers during the same period.
