The day was dominated by an Israeli airstrike on a home in Deir al-Balah that killed a couple and their toddler, reported across multiple outlets from early morning. The family massacre became the central editorial focus, with headlines updating the death toll throughout the day—from three to four martyrs from one family, and eventually 14 total in Gaza over 24 hours.

By midday, the Gaza Health Ministry confirmed 13 martyrs and 18 wounded, while the National Committee for Gaza Management proposed a $1 billion recovery plan.

Simultaneously, US-Iran escalation intensified: Trump threatened to destroy Iranian infrastructure, the IRGC closed Hormuz, and US strikes killed 30 civilians and 7 soldiers.

In the afternoon, Hamas agreed with mediators on a roadmap and awaited Israel's reply, while Israeli forces continued demolitions and settlement expansion in the West Bank.

Evening reports focused on renewed US strikes on Iran and Israeli airstrikes wounding civilians in central Gaza.
