The day began with Israeli media continuing to focus on Prime Minister Netanyahu's second White House meeting with President Trump, centered on a Gaza hostage deal. The Philadelphia/Morag axis was identified as the primary point of contention. By late morning, reporting shifted significantly to the IDF's targeted ground operations in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah infrastructure, the first such actions since the ceasefire. Simultaneously, the domestic crisis escalated as the Attorney General and IDF initiated immediate enforcement of Haredi conscription, drawing fierce condemnation. As the day progressed, focus also increased on IDF's encirclement of Beit Hanoun in Gaza. The evening saw an overwhelming shift in editorial priority to the death of reserve soldier Avraham Azoulay in Khan Yunis, who was killed after fighting off terrorists attempting to kidnap him, a widely reported tragic incident.
