Overview

  • At least 36 displaced Palestinians, including women and children, died when an Israeli airstrike hit the Fahmi Al-Jarjawi school in the Al-Daraj neighborhood.
  • The IDF justified the attack by alleging the school housed a high-level Hamas and Islamic Jihad command and control center.
  • Evacuation orders were issued for multiple Khan Younis districts as the IDF launched a so-called “unprecedented” ground operation to seize further territory.
  • Ceasefire and hostage-release talks remain stalled after Hamas’s reported acceptance of a US-brokered proposal was dismissed by envoy Steve Witkoff as unacceptable.
  • Humanitarian efforts are disrupted by the resignation of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation director Jake Wood and mounting EU and international calls for sanctions and arms embargoes to improve aid access.
