Overnight press reported 17-year-old yeshiva student Amichai Atiya run over and killed during a confrontation at a Hadera shopping center after Selichot prayers, with the driver shot by a companion. Police and Shin Bet later said the background was criminal, not nationalist, lifting murder suspicion, and the funeral was held in Itamar.

By midday attention shifted to former PA minister Sufian Abu Zaida's claim he was the "coal eyes" source who received Sinwar's "earthquake" warning before October 7 and passed it via the UAE president to Netanyahu, fearing direct contact with the Shin Bet. Intelligence officials dismissed it as low-quality disinformation meant to lull Israel.

Iran coverage continued from previous days with satellite images of rebuilding at Taleghan 2, Trump's remarks on a deal or collapse, and a Russian-Chinese veto ending UN sanctions monitoring, alongside debate over F-35 sales to Saudi Arabia.
