Morning coverage still noted the flood displacement crisis from Deir al-Balah, then pivoted to Burqa where Israeli forces shot dead 14-year-old Moataz Daghlas, detained his father and medics and held the body, amid raids and settler attacks on olive pickers. Attention then shifted to Gaza, where reported shelling and gunfire rose through the day from one dead to three including a child and his father in Zeitoun and Khan Younis, to seven dead with dozens wounded, centered on a workshop in Sabra/Tel al-Hawa and strikes in Jabalia and Bureij alongside attacks on fishermen and demolitions.

Editors paired the fire with diplomacy, as Smotrich conditioned reconstruction on Hamas disarmament while Hamas and factions accused the Peace Council of distorting flood causes, and tracked the new Knesset, opposition moves to replace its speaker, and approvals for 31 settlement firing ranges and land seizures.
