Gaza on alert after cops killing
Hamas yesterday said that two overnight bombings killed three police officers in the Gaza Strip in what witnesses called suicide attacks as the Palestinian enclave was placed under a state of alert.
Witnesses told AFP that both bombings were suicide attacks by assailants on motorbikes, but there was no official confirmation.
A source familiar with the investigation said a Salafist movement in Gaza that sympathises with the Islamic State group was suspected.
An investigation was underway as authorities pledged to track down the “masterminds”. New police checkpoints were set up in Gaza City.
