- The Israel Defense Forces said it detected individuals who crossed the line and, citing an immediate threat to troops, killed them with air and ground fire.
- Israel reported receiving three coffins via the ICRC under the ceasefire framework, while Hamas is still believed to hold 48 hostages, including roughly 20 alive.
- Israel’s public broadcaster reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preventing about 200 Hamas fighters from leaving the yellow‑line zone.
- Netanyahu reiterated that Turkish troops will not take part in any prospective international force for Gaza, as separate reporting points to accelerating U.S.–Syria outreach on counter‑ISIS cooperation and possible Syria–Israel talks, with Russia meanwhile condemning recent U.S. actions near Venezuela.
