Overview

• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered forces to hit targets across Gaza after Israel accused Hamas of violating the truce in Rafah, then the military said it was reapplying the ceasefire terms.
• Palestinian health authorities reported at least 44 deaths and more than 120 injuries from Sunday’s Israeli attacks, while Israel cited the killing of two soldiers in Rafah as the trigger for reprisals.
• Israel says troops in Rafah were attacked with an anti-tank missile and gunfire; Hamas denies responsibility, points to an internal police operation against a rival militia, and accuses Israel of repeated breaches.
• The United States warned of credible reports that Hamas was planning an imminent attack on civilians in Gaza, a move Washington said would violate the ceasefire and jeopardize mediation efforts.
• Exchanges of bodies continued via the Red Cross, with Israel identifying the remains of Eliyahu Margalit, and Israeli authorities tying the reopening of the Rafah crossing and broader aid flows to the return of remaining hostages’ bodies.
