The morning began with six Golani Brigade soldiers falling in Lebanon when a building collapsed during combat, continuing the pattern of casualties from previous days. A seventh soldier, Lt. Ivri Dickstein, was later identified among the fallen.
By afternoon, Netanyahu's chief of staff Tzachi Braverman was interrogated regarding alleged alterations of October 7 protocols, specifically attempting to change the timestamp of Netanyahu's first notification from 06:40 to 06:29. The police described it as a "severely criminal event."
The evening brought two parallel diplomatic developments: The US presented Lebanon with a draft ceasefire proposal, while Israel indicated willingness to allow Lebanese army rearmament as part of the arrangement. A 40-minute drone chase ended with two IDF soldiers wounded in Elikim. The Attorney General demanded Netanyahu reconsider Ben-Gvir's ministerial position, citing repeated legal violations.
