Morning reports focused on Israeli military's expansion of operations in Jenin, resulting in the death of Qassam commander Ayser Al-Saadi. The operation coincided with the closure of Gaza crossings entering its third day, amplifying concerns about food shortages.
By midday, attention shifted to Cairo's emergency Arab summit, where Egypt unveiled a six-month interim administration plan for Gaza, proposing a $53 billion reconstruction project. The plan explicitly rejected population displacement, gathering broad Arab support.
Evening brought significant institutional changes as President Abbas announced a general pardon for dismissed Fatah members and created a new PLO deputy chairman position. Meanwhile, Shin Bet published its October 7 investigation, acknowledging intelligence failures in assessing Hamas's intentions. The day concluded with reports of 80,000 worshippers attending Al-Aqsa despite restrictions.
