The Day of the Zeitoun Strike and the Displacement Plan

The day opened with reports of a bloody Eid al-Adha in Gaza, as Israeli airstrikes killed at least 10 civilians, including children, and targeted Qassam commanders. By morning, Hamas warned the ceasefire was at risk of collapse following the 'massacre' in central Gaza. The UN blacklisted Israel for sexual violence in conflict, prompting Israel to cut ties with the Secretary-General's office. In the afternoon, Netanyahu announced forces had crossed the Litani River in Lebanon and set a new goal of controlling 70% of Gaza. A new strike on Zeitoun killed one and wounded others, while Defense Minister Katz confirmed plans to displace Palestinians from Gaza. A US-Iran agreement to extend the ceasefire by 60 days awaited Trump's approval, but an Israeli source claimed Iran's supreme leader had not consented, casting doubt on the deal. The day's editorial focus remained on the escalating violence and the explicit displacement agenda.
