⌨The 1,000-day milestone of the Gaza war dominated editorial choices, with outlets emphasizing the toll on children and ongoing ceasefire violations. Morning reports highlighted a child killed by a drone while collecting water east of Gaza City, and another child martyred in Deir al-Balah. By afternoon, Israeli forces claimed the assassination of a senior Hamas military security official in Shujaiya, a story carried by multiple sources. Settler violence in the West Bank continued, with attacks in Abu Falah, Turmus Ayya, and near Tubas, alongside approval of 13 new settlement outposts. Diplomatic coverage included the US dropping its precondition for Hamas disarmament in Gaza reconstruction, and Iran finalizing a Hormuz Strait navigation deal with Oman, excluding the US. The day also saw 50,000 worshippers at Al-Aqsa despite restrictions, and a French city granting honorary citizenship to Marwan Barghouti.
