  • Hundreds in Beirut’s southern suburbs mourned Hezbollah’s military chief Haytham Ali Tabtabai after an Israeli strike, with the group weighing a response as fears of escalation grew.
  • Israel’s military chief Eyal Zamir dismissed and reprimanded senior officers over failures surrounding the October 7, 2023 attacks, removing several from reserve duty and issuing formal censures.
  • Hamas said a leadership delegation met Egypt’s intelligence chief in Cairo to discuss implementing the truce’s next phase as Israel reported intercepting militants crossing the yellow line in Gaza.
  • Pakistan’s Foreign Office condemned Israeli attacks in Gaza as violations of international law, and the US‑backed GHF said it is ending its Gaza operation, citing provisions in the October ceasefire.
