Israeli media prominently covered the return of a fallen hostage's remains from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad via the Red Cross, following earlier accusations of ceasefire breaches. The transfer was initially expected at 4 PM, and reports tracked the Red Cross's movement to central Gaza, then the casket's handover to IDF forces, its crossing into Israeli territory, and finally its arrival at the National Center of Forensic Medicine for identification. Concurrently, the escalating clash between Defense Minister Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Zamir remained a significant story, with Netanyahu holding separate meetings with each. Reports also highlighted Minister Ben Gvir's directive prohibiting police and prison service representatives from attending a Knesset discussion on violence against women.
