Overview
- Hamas transferred two sets of remains to the ICRC that Israel identified as Amiram Cooper and Sahar Baruch, bringing returns to 17 of 28 and leaving 11 bodies still in Gaza under the Trump-brokered plan.
- The ceasefire was shaken after a Hamas attack killed an Israeli soldier in Rafah, prompting overnight Israeli strikes that Palestinian officials said left more than 100 dead before the truce was reasserted.
- Israel says it has continued targeted strikes on what it calls terrorist infrastructure, including in Beit Lahia, claims that could not be independently verified.
- A Civil-Military Coordination Center in Kiryat Gat is coordinating implementation and discussing a future stabilization force, but Palestinian representation is absent and the force’s mandate and contributors remain unresolved.
- UN officials report more than 24,000 tonnes of aid have entered Gaza, with distribution hampered by registration and access constraints, as a U.S. rights review reportedly cites many hundreds of potential violations by Israeli units.
