The Day Two Prisoners Died and Forty Thousand Prayed

By midday, reports emerged of two Palestinian prisoners' deaths in Israeli detention - from Gaza and Nablus - triggering multiple coverage waves across media outlets.

Forty thousand Palestinians attended Friday prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque, while reports surfaced of two Islamic Jihad leaders killed in a Damascus strike. Israeli military sources acknowledged nine soldier casualties in Gaza and Lebanon operations, as Al-Qassam Brigades released footage of operations in Beit Lahia.

Evening developments focused on a U.S. ceasefire proposal delivered to Lebanon, while twenty-nine organizations reported on humanitarian aid theft in Gaza. Death toll updates indicated 37 casualties since dawn, with strikes continuing in Gaza City and Rafah. Hezbollah's strike on Eliakim military base south of Haifa marked the day's final significant development.
