Overview
- Health officials and local media reported at least 21–24 Palestinians killed in strikes across Gaza, including Gaza City, Deir al‑Balah and Nuseirat, one of the deadliest days since the Oct. 10 truce began.
- Israel said the attacks followed an armed incursion across the so‑called yellow line into Israeli‑held territory and claimed to have killed five senior Hamas figures, later naming a local commander.
- Hamas urged the United States, Egypt and Qatar to enforce the deal and sent a delegation to Cairo to discuss what it calls Israeli violations and westward moves beyond the agreed boundary.
- Gaza authorities cited 497 alleged breaches since Oct. 10 with 342 civilians killed, while UNICEF said nearly two children have been killed on average each day and aid groups reported severe supply shortages.
- Netanyahu vowed to keep striking Hamas and Hezbollah, as Israel’s military said it hit a Hezbollah operative in Beirut’s southern suburbs and a UN expert condemned near‑daily Israeli strikes in Lebanon since last year’s ceasefire.
