Overview

• Israel’s military designated Gaza City a dangerous combat zone and said the tactical pause for aid deliveries no longer applies there as ground and air operations expanded.
• Arab media and local officials reported heavy strikes across multiple neighborhoods with large-scale displacement, and Al-Awda Hospital said an attack near an aid distribution point left eight dead and 40 wounded.
• The reported Palestinian death toll in Gaza has surpassed 63,000, including more than 300 people who died of hunger, as nearly a million residents were told to move south.
• An explosive device hit an IDF Namer armored vehicle in northern Gaza, wounding one soldier moderately and six lightly, and Israeli forces said they recovered the body of hostage Ilan Weiss.
• Hamas spokesperson Abu Obeida warned of reprisals and said captives would be kept with fighters, while the U.S. moved to revoke visas for PLO and PA figures and the UN sought clarification on the decision.
