Morning brought devastating attacks on aid distribution centers, with desperate Palestinians storming UN warehouses as Gaza reached what sources called "the hungriest place on Earth." The Al-Bureij massacre death toll climbed to 27, while Israeli forces killed civilians at the crowded Al-Saraya intersection in central Gaza City.
By afternoon, confusion emerged over the Witkoff ceasefire proposal. Netanyahu announced Israeli acceptance and informed hostage families, but Hamas quickly denied agreeing to any deal. Hamas spokesman Basem Naim stated Israel's response failed to meet Palestinian demands, contradicting earlier reports of progress.
Israeli forces forced Al-Awda Hospital to evacuate patients under threat of storming the facility, continuing the systematic dismantling of Gaza's medical infrastructure. Yemen launched missiles toward Israel, temporarily halting flights at Ben Gurion Airport. The White House maintained ceasefire negotiations continued but lacked confirmation of Hamas agreement, revealing the fragile state of diplomatic efforts.
