Overview

• Israel’s military said the local pause that had allowed limited aid movements from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. no longer applies in Gaza City, which it designated a dangerous combat zone as it moves to intensify operations.
• Authorities reported recovering the bodies of two hostages in Gaza, identifying one as Ilan Weiss, while the second is still undergoing identification.
• IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee said attacks will be stepped up to recover all hostages and dismantle Hamas, as residents reported already intensified strikes in northern and central areas.
• The IPC/CIF last week declared a famine in Gaza City, a finding Israel’s Foreign Ministry contests and has asked to be retracted, while aid agencies say suspending the pauses will further restrict lifesaving assistance.
• UN human‑rights experts alleged forced disappearances at militarized food‑distribution points with apparent involvement of Israeli forces, a claim the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation denies at its facilities.
