The Day of the US Strikes on Iran

Editorial priority shifted early in the day toward the Gulf, with outlets reporting US military strikes on Iran and President Trump’s declaration ending the diplomatic understanding with Tehran. This regional escalation drove oil prices higher and initially overshadowed localized Gaza updates. In the morning, Palestinian editors concurrently tracked an "unprecedented pace" of West Bank annexation and the looming demolition of a school in Masafer Yatta. By afternoon, attention returned to Gaza’s collapsing ceasefire. Reports confirmed 10 martyrs in strikes across Khan Younis and Gaza City, while the total death toll reached 73,110. Media also highlighted the Irish ban on settlement goods as a notable diplomatic shift. By evening, coverage focused on financial and political developments. The Israeli Knesset approved freezing additional Palestinian clearance funds, while a Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo for negotiations, attempting to salvage the second phase of the ceasefire despite the day's military activity.
