Overview
- BBC Verify says satellite imagery shows at least 16 shifts of yellow-line markers averaging about 295 meters into Gaza, a claim the Israeli military rejects as it says it is marking the line according to operational conditions.
- Health authorities report 447 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire, including at least 77 shot near the line and 62 who crossed it, while the army acknowledges 57 deaths there and says most were militants after warnings.
- New strikes and raids continued in the past 24 hours with at least 12 killed and 18 injured, as the IDF cited a response to a ceasefire violation in western Rafah targeting Hamas and Islamic Jihad figures.
- Displacement and harsh weather are compounding needs, with at least five deaths from hypothermia and four from storm damage reported, and UNRWA warning that about 800,000 people are in flood‑risk zones.
- Governance and security steps advanced as Gaza’s technocratic NCAG held its first supervised meeting in Cairo, and the White House named a Peace Council and appointed Major General Jasper Jeffers to command an international stabilization force.
