Overview

• Washington said it shared credible reports with guarantor nations that Hamas plans an imminent attack on Palestinian civilians and warned of measures to protect Gazans if it proceeds.
• Israel reported RPG and sniper fire against its troops east of the yellow line and launched strikes in southern Gaza, calling it a blatant ceasefire violation; Hamas denied involvement and reaffirmed commitment to the truce.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directed security chiefs to take strong action against violations and said the Rafah crossing will stay closed until Hamas fulfills ceasefire obligations on returning hostage bodies.
• Hamas transferred two more sets of remains, identified by Israel as Ronen Engel and Thai national Sonthaya Oakkharasri, bringing returns to 12 of 28 deceased hostages, while Israel said 150 Palestinian bodies have been handed back to Gaza.
• The week‑old, U.S.-brokered 20‑point plan remains fragile as mediators monitor implementation, key political phases like disarmament and governance are unresolved, and reported aid deliveries still fall short of agreed targets.
