Overview

• Defense Minister Israel Katz said Abu Obeida was killed in a targeted strike in Gaza City’s Rimal district, with Israeli officials crediting a joint IDF–Shin Bet operation as medical sources reported additional fatalities in the building hit.
• Houthi authorities confirmed that Ahmed Ghaleb al‑Rahawi and several ministers died in an Israeli strike in Saná and named Mohammed Ahmad Muftah interim prime minister while vowing revenge and warning foreign companies tied to Israel.
• The IDF said the Saná attack struck a facility hosting senior Houthi officials, following recent Houthi missile launches toward Israel and Netanyahu’s warning that the group would pay a “very high price.”
• Hamas acknowledged the death of Mohammad Sinwar months after Israel said it had killed him in May, as Israeli commanders signaled they will pursue remaining Hamas leaders, including those outside Gaza.
• Israeli forces intensified operations around Gaza City with new evacuation orders, while Gaza’s Health Ministry reported fresh civilian deaths and ongoing fatalities related to hunger in the enclave.
