GAZA-"Israeli" occupying regime`s aircraft struck a police station of the Hamas early Saturday in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, killing one and wounding several others, witnesses said.
Rafah hospital officials said one Palestinian police officer was martyred and three others wounded in the airstrike, the second this week to target a Hamas police station.
The witnesses said they heard a huge explosion as "Israeli" warplanes circled over the area and saw a cloud of dust from the shattered building, where rescue teams and firefighters arrived.
On Friday, an "Israeli" aircraft attacked a car carrying Hamas security men in the Gaza Strip, killing one of them and wounding two others, Hamas officials said immediately.
Hamas officials said the car was destroyed by the aircraft and all three men inside belonged to its security forces.
A few days ago, four police men were martyred in a similar airstrike in southern Gaza.
Hamas Interior Ministry spokesman Ihab al-Ghusein said that the Zionist regime was attacking Hamas police stations "because it doesn`t like the status of security and tranquility that prevailed the Gaza Strip over the past a few months."
Earlier, "Israeli" army officials said there is nothing called police forces in the Gaza Strip, accusing them of being Hamas armed wings launching rocket attacks on occupied lands.
Hamas took control of Gaza Strip in June, following fierce infighting with Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas security forces and his Fatah militants.
Since then, "Israel" has tightened security measures and imposed a partial siege on the impoverished territory.
