• Troops and armor entered gateway neighborhoods such as Sheikh Radwan and Tel Al-Hawa as the Israeli military said it is expanding operations to dismantle Hamas infrastructure.
• Internet and phone services were knocked out across the Strip, the telecom operator said, after targeting of main routes, hindering aid coordination and calls for help.
• Israel reopened a 48-hour corridor on Salah al-Din Street for residents to move south, yet UN agencies reported new waves of displacement and dire conditions in the south.
• Gaza health authorities said the Palestinian death toll has passed 65,000, with hospitals reporting children among the latest dead and the WHO warning facilities are near collapse.
• Military officials estimate the Gaza City phase could last months, while a UN commission’s genocide finding—rejected by Israel—has intensified diplomatic pressure and calls for legal probes.
