The day was dominated by a single, escalating story: an Israeli airstrike on a police station in Jabalia refugee camp that killed the police director and several officers. Early morning reports noted continued ceasefire violations in Gaza, but by 10:14 AM, outlets began reporting 4–6 martyrs in the strike. The toll rose rapidly—to 7, then 10, then 11—as editors updated headlines throughout the day, with the police director confirmed among the dead. By evening, the count reached 13, including further strikes on a tent west of Gaza City. The massacre overshadowed other developments: US-Iran strikes and Hormuz tensions, a $2.3 billion Israeli settlement expansion plan, and EU financial support for the PA. Hamas condemned the targeting of police as an attempt to spread chaos, while Israel’s defense minister boasted that destroying Gaza gave him a “good feeling.” The day’s editorial focus remained fixed on the Jabalia attack and its rising death toll.
