The day began with the death of Golani soldier Sgt. First Class Negev Dagan from a Hezbollah mortar in southern Lebanon, the sixth IDF fatality since the ceasefire. By late morning, Trump's offer to freeze Iran's nuclear program for 20 years dominated coverage, with Iran expressing distrust. In the early afternoon, Hezbollah launched an intense drone and rocket barrage on northern Israel, prompting Israeli preparations for a significant response. The evening saw a dramatic shift as Israel targeted Hamas military chief Izz al-Din al-Haddad in Gaza City, described as the last remaining architect of the October 7 massacre. Security sources reported high confidence in the elimination, overshadowing other stories.
