Overview

  • Israel's military launched Operation Gideon’s Chariots, a large-scale offensive in Gaza, involving airstrikes and troop mobilization to dismantle Hamas and recover hostages.
  • At least 24 Palestinians were killed in an airstrike on a refugee camp in Khan Yunis, according to local health authorities, as civilian casualties mount.
  • Hamas announced a return to hostage negotiations in Doha under Qatari and U.S. mediation, though significant disputes remain unresolved.
  • International leaders, including EU Council President António Costa and UN Secretary-General António Guterres, condemned the offensive and called for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid access.
  • Regional tensions persist, with Israel intercepting a rocket launched from Yemen by the Huthi militia, reportedly in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
