The day began with Palestinian media reporting intensified Israeli ground operations in Gaza, causing widespread casualties and exacerbating the humanitarian crisis, with specific reports of starvation deaths and mass displacement. Mid-day, a significant security development emerged as Israeli sources claimed to have foiled a Hamas drone assassination attempt on Ben Gvir. Concurrently, the Al-Qassam Brigades announced a new "Moses' Staff" operation in response to Israeli military actions. Throughout the day, discussions of Israel's West Bank annexation plans persisted, and international calls for a ceasefire continued, with Belgium recognizing Palestine. As the day concluded, Hamas reiterated its readiness for a comprehensive deal to end the war, stating it awaited Israel's response to mediators' proposals, marking a potential diplomatic shift amidst ongoing military escalation.
