Overview

• Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that anyone who stays in Gaza City will be treated as a militant and face the full force of the current offensive.
• The Israeli military said Palestinians can move south only via the lone open north–south road, with other routes blocked and northbound travel barred.
• A strike on a school sheltering displaced families in Gaza City killed at least seven people, including rescuers, with additional attacks reported near hospitals.
• Roughly 400,000 people have fled Gaza City since last month’s large-scale push to seize the city, while many others remain unable or too weak to relocate.
• The Gaza Health Ministry reports more than 66,000 killed and about 170,000 injured, and Hamas says it is studying a 20‑point proposal from President Donald Trump tied to a ceasefire and hostage releases.
