  • A ceasefire that took effect last October halted large-scale fighting but failed to stop Israeli strikes, with more than 1,300 Palestinians killed in Gaza since the agreement came into force.
  • Witnesses reported Israeli warplanes fired at least 12 missiles near the Katiba area in Gaza City, an area crowded with displaced families, killing at least four people including two children and a woman.
  • Hamas official Ismail Al-Thawabta accused Israel of violating the ceasefire and undermining efforts to advance President Donald Trump's broader war-ending plan.
  • Speaking from the Netiv HaAsara community near the Gaza border, Katz defended the military's actions, stating: "This is our policy: we do not wait for threats, but rather pursue Hamas terrorists, thwart them, and destroy their terror infrastructure.
