The day opened with a major Israeli military operation across the West Bank, expanding from Nablus to Jenin, following the previous day's deadly confrontation in Tel village. Editors highlighted mass arrests, restricted dawn funerals for four martyrs, and the siege of Nablus.
By mid-morning, the focus shifted to Gaza, where Israeli airstrikes killed North Gaza's police chief in Sheikh Radwan, framed as a targeted breach of ceasefire understandings. Casualty counts rose throughout the day, reaching six dead by evening, including other police personnel.
In the West Bank, settler violence intensified, with reports of new outposts near Nablus and over 1,000 children displaced this year. Human Rights Watch warned of 'mass atrocities.'
Regional tensions surfaced with US base evacuations in Qatar and UAE, delayed strikes on Iran, and Houthi attacks on Saudi Aramco sites.
