Overview

• Israeli forces demolished at least two landmark towers in Gaza City over two days, issuing short-notice evacuation alerts as the military said Hamas used the buildings while Hamas denied the claim.
• Leaflets and online orders directed residents to relocate to a designated southern zone around al-Mawasi and parts of Khan Younis, which aid groups describe as overcrowded, under-resourced and unsafe.
• Local authorities and civil defense reported dozens killed in the latest strikes, including people near an aid point, as hospitals treated casualties from attacks that also hit a school sheltering displaced families.
• Hamas released a video of two hostages; relatives of Alon Ohel said medical consultations indicate he lost sight in his right eye, and Israeli officials maintain 48 hostages remain in Gaza with about 20 believed alive.
• Regional tensions widened as a Houthi drone struck Ramon International Airport in southern Israel, causing minor injury and limited damage before flights resumed, according to Israeli officials.
