Morning coverage opened in Gaza, where newspapers counted four killed, including a child, in continued ceasefire violations, with demolitions in Mawasi Rafah and Deir al-Balah and the Kuwait Specialized Hospital limiting services to emergencies over fuel shortages. Al-Quds also fronted Herzog's full pardon of the soldier who killed Abdel Fattah al-Sharif.

Attention shifted to the West Bank after a shooting near Halamish northwest of Ramallah killed one settler and critically wounded another. The army seized the wounded gunman from a hospital, imposed closures, and Hamas and other factions praised the attack as a response to Netanyahu's statements. A Palestinian was shot dead near Jenin.

By evening the lead moved to Jerusalem, where Netanyahu, Ben Gvir and hundreds of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa on Yom Kippur, 992 by one count, amid an unprecedented military alert, an operation in Biddu and settler leaders' calls for action against the Palestinian Authority. Gaza's emergency plan to evacuate 255 collapsing buildings and Yemen's strikes on Aramco filled the remaining space.
