Overview

• Israeli media reported military strikes in Gaza after officials said Hamas attacked troops beyond the agreed yellow line with RPG and sniper fire; Hamas said it remains committed to the deal and accused Israel of violations.
• The U.S. State Department cited credible reports that Hamas is planning an imminent attack on Palestinian civilians and warned that measures would be taken to protect Gazans and preserve the ceasefire.
• Hamas transferred two additional sets of hostage remains to Israel via the Red Cross, bringing the total returned to 12 of the 28 deceased pledged under the agreement, with identifications ongoing.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Rafah crossing to remain closed until further notice, tying reopening to the return of all deceased hostages’ bodies; Hamas called the move a breach that slows recovery efforts.
• Aid deliveries continue to lag far below the deal’s target, with UN data showing only hundreds of trucks offloaded since the truce began as both sides trade accusations over enforcement and reported civilian casualties.
