The Israeli military has carried out at least 250 air and ground strikes in the Gaza Strip over the past 48 hours.

Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, condemned Israel’s military actions in Gaza, describing the area as a graveyard for children and starving civilians.

According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, over 57,000 have died and more than 137,000 injured amid ongoing conflict.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed optimism that a hostage release agreement with Hamas could be finalized within days. Under the proposed first phase, a 60-day ceasefire would allow the release of hostages, followed by negotiations toward a permanent resolution. Netanyahu added, “The war in Gaza could end today or tomorrow—if Hamas lays down its arms.” He accused Hamas of using civilians as human shields and preventing their evacuation from conflict zones. Describing Hamas as a "monstrous" organization, Netanyahu praised his past collaboration with former U.S. President Donald Trump as “extraordinary.”

An Israeli soldier from the elite Golani Brigade took his own life at the Sde Teiman military base after returning from combat in Gaza. According to Haaretz, the soldier was under investigation by military police and had been ordered to surrender his weapon. However, he used a friend’s firearm to commit suicide. Sources suggest the soldier was mentally distressed following the death of a close comrade in the war. Since the start of the Gaza conflict, suicides among Israeli soldiers have risen, with 21 reported cases in 2024 alone.

Yemen's Houthi-controlled armed forces have claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile strike targeting Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport using the Zulfiqar missile system.

They vowed to continue attacks until the Israeli siege and military operations in Gaza end. The Israeli military confirmed intercepting one missile. Previously, Houthi fighters claimed responsibility for sinking two ships bound for Israel in the Red Sea.
