The morning began with reports of 11 casualties from overnight strikes, as displaced populations struggled with flooding from winter storms that destroyed over 10,000 tents. Civil defense and emergency vehicles ceased operations due to fuel shortages.
By midday, attention shifted to Lebanon as the Israeli cabinet prepared to approve a U.S.-mediated ceasefire agreement. The deal gained momentum despite internal criticism, with Biden expected to announce its implementation. The agreement was finally approved in the evening, set to take effect at 4 AM Wednesday.
Meanwhile, medical sources reported the conflict's toll reaching 44,249 deaths, with 1,410 families completely lost. Israel continued preventing entry of basic supplies including blankets and clothing into Gaza, while Rights Watch documented "brutal evacuations" in the northern areas. The day ended with Biden suggesting similar ceasefire efforts would soon begin for Gaza.
