Gaza's police directorate rejected allegations made by the Israeli military following the killing of Gaza City police chief Colonel Jamal Abu Kumeil, Shehab Wire reported. The police command characterized the Israeli army's claims as "lies designed to justify the crime." The denial came after the Israeli military issued a statement responding to Abu Kumeil's death.
The Gaza police directorate did not specify which particular claims it was refuting or provide additional details about the circumstances surrounding the colonel's killing. Abu Kumeil served as director of the Gaza governorate police force at the time of his death.
