Overview

• IDF expanded a multi-division ground push under Gideon’s Chariots II, striking Sheikh Radwan and Tel al-Hawa while moving toward central Gaza City.
• Leaflets and a two-day corridor on the Salah al-Din road spurred a southbound exodus, with huge crowds now directed to the coastal route for escape.
• Gaza health officials reported dozens killed in the past day and say famine deaths have reached 441 as infrastructure and fuel supplies collapse.
• The IDF said it killed Hamas intelligence figure Sim Mahmoud Yusuf Abu Alkhir, while four Israeli soldiers died in a southern Gaza incident tied to uncleared routes.
• Aid groups report shrinking access after the IDF told them only hospitals count as protected sites in northern Gaza, and Portugal set Sunday to recognize a Palestinian state with more countries expected to follow.
