The day was dominated by dawn strikes on four residential apartments in Gaza City, killing at least nine and erasing an entire family from the civil registry. Multiple outlets led with the massacre, while later reports raised the toll to 11–12. Hezbollah's drone attack on the Israeli Northern Command chief's vehicle drew sustained attention, alongside vows to keep northern Israel unsafe. The US-brokered Lebanon ceasefire appeared fragile as Israel continued strikes in the south and Bekaa. The health sector's collapse deepened, with 80% of medicines depleted due to the clearance revenue crisis. By evening, the Knesset was estimated to dissolve within two weeks, and Congress imposed historic limits on Trump's military powers regarding Iran.
