Morning coverage kept Israeli fire in Gaza as continued ceasefire violations, reporting three killed and 15 wounded, including helicopter strikes inside the Yellow Line and shelling and demolitions. Attention shifted mid-morning to the start of the in-person school year after a three-year interruption, with outlets citing 500,000 pupils returning amid destroyed schools and lack of classrooms.

By midday focus returned to the dead, identified as a child and the eldest son of Gaza health director Munir al-Barsh killed in Jabalia. Afternoon reports centered on a strike on a vehicle in the crowded Sheikh Radwan market in Gaza City, raising Saturday's toll to four to six killed. Health authorities put total deaths at 73,910, with 1,390 since the ceasefire.

Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya's contacts with mediators and President Abbas's announcement of a reconciliation conference under Cairo sponsorship were noted, alongside settler attacks in the West Bank.
