  • During operational activity near the Yellow Line, the IDF said troops identified suspicious individuals west of the line and fired despite withdrawing east under the ceasefire.
  • Gaza civil emergency service said most victims were children and wounded were taken to hospitals, while bodies were recovered after United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs coordinated with Israeli forces and brought to Shifa Hospital.
  • Yesterday, mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey flew to Miami to meet US envoys including Steve Witkoff as the strike occurred during US-brokered ceasefire second-stage plans, and the military said it regretted harm to uninvolved individuals.
  • The ceasefire remains fragile, with Hamas leaders asserting a 'legitimate right' to hold weapons, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warns, 'If Hamas is ever in a position... they can threaten or attack Israel, you're not going to have peace.
