The day opened with Hamas warning the Gaza ceasefire was collapsing after Israel killed 20 Palestinians in 48 hours. By morning, Netanyahu announced a goal to control 70% of Gaza, while Israel closed the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron and expanded a Jordan Valley settlement. The EU sanctioned extremist settlers, and a UN report accused Israel of sexual violence against Palestinians. In the afternoon, Israeli airstrikes killed four in Mawasi and Gaza City, and Hezbollah claimed tank strikes in Lebanon. Evening reports noted Israel's claimed assassination of a Qassam leader and Netanyahu's forces crossing the Litani. The day's editorial focus remained on the escalation's multiple fronts and the explicit territorial ambitions.
