  • The Israeli military confirmed ongoing ground operations in northern Gaza, targeting Hamas militants and infrastructure, including a command center.
  • In Lebanon, an Israeli airstrike killed three people, including a senior Hamas figure, as cross-border tensions continue to rise.
  • Hungary announced its withdrawal from the International Criminal Court during Netanyahu's visit, citing the court's politicization, while ignoring an ICC arrest warrant for the Israeli leader.
