• Gaza's Khan Younis experienced heavy overnight airstrikes, with 54 confirmed fatalities, marking one of the deadliest nights in recent weeks of the ongoing conflict.
• Human Rights Watch issued a warning, describing Israeli plans to seize Gaza and displace hundreds of thousands as nearing genocidal levels, urging international action.
• In the West Bank, a pregnant Israeli woman was fatally shot in an attack, though doctors successfully delivered her baby via emergency caesarean section.
