The day's dominant story was the assassination of Gaza's police chief in an Israeli strike on his vehicle in Sheikh Ajlin, reported across outlets as a major ceasefire violation. The killing was framed by Palestinian media as an attempt to spread chaos and continue the genocide, with Hamas condemning it as a 'treacherous crime'. Earlier, editors focused on settler violence in Qusra, where Israeli forces removed a settler tent but left besieged families at risk, and on the reestablishment of the Ganim settlement east of Jenin after 21 years. Reports also highlighted Israeli assessments that Hamas is regaining administrative control in Gaza. By evening, coverage shifted to the police chief's assassination and its implications, overshadowing other stories such as the UN documenting abuses against returnees to Gaza and the arrival of US envoy Kushner to discuss the Gaza plan.
