The day began with revelations of an Israeli proposal to Hamas offering 120 Palestinian prisoners for 11 hostages, which Hamas rejected. IDF conducted simultaneous strikes in Gaza and Lebanon, killing nine Hamas members allegedly operating a drone in Beit Lahiya and two operatives in southern Lebanon, marking the deadliest strike since the temporary ceasefire began.
President Herzog's compromise proposal for an October 7 commission of inquiry—suggesting Supreme Court Justices Amit and Sohlberg would appoint members—gained Amit's approval but was promptly rejected by Netanyahu's office.
By evening, the U.S. launched extensive strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, with Trump warning "your time is up." The death toll rose to at least 13, with some reports claiming up to 30 casualties.
Throughout the day, hostage families intensified protests, with Yitzhak Horowitz—father of captives Eitan and Yair Horn—confronting Netanyahu from a wheelchair, accusing him of imposing "Solomon's judgment" on his family.
