Three Israeli soldiers from the Givati Brigade’s Rotem Battalion were killed and two others wounded after a roadside bomb, reportedly planted by Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades, struck their Humvee in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza. The deadly blast occurred during a convoy mission escorting a fire engine after a technical issue with an armored vehicle.

An Israeli attack near a U.S.-backed aid distribution site in Gaza's Rafah killed at least 31 people, according to local health authorities. As ceasefire negotiations falter, blame is being traded between Hamas and Israel over the tragic incident. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which operates the site, denies any casualties. Meanwhile, Israel's military claims no knowledge of civilian injuries from its fire. The deadly strike comes amid failed truce talks, escalating violence, and accusations that aid is being weaponized. Over 54,000 Palestinians have died in Israel's ongoing Gaza offensive.

Israel aims to take control of 75% of the Gaza Strip in a sweeping military offensive, forcing over 2 million Palestinians into just three confined areas. As the conflict intensifies, more than 53,000 people have already been killed in Gaza, with international criticism mounting over the ongoing aid blockade. Meanwhile, a US-backed humanitarian effort to distribute aid faces setbacks, including the resignation of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s head, who refuses to compromise on core humanitarian principles. What will the future hold for Gaza’s civilians trapped in the crossfire?

During a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized the BBC for its reporting on an alleged Israeli tank strike near an aid center in Rafah. Leavitt accused the outlet of relying too heavily on Hamas claims and pointed to several changing headlines as evidence of misinformation. The administration says it is verifying facts independently, suggesting the BBC prematurely blamed Israel. The clash reignites debates over media credibility, Middle East coverage, and the challenge of reporting from conflict zones.

Israel launched overnight airstrikes on military sites in southern Syria following rocket fire from across the border. The Israeli military targeted areas in Damascus countryside, Daraa, and Quneitra, holding Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa responsible. Defense Minister Katz warned Israel will respond fully to any cross-border threats. Syria denied involvement and called the accusations politically driven. A group linked to Hamas, the Martyr Muhammad Deif Brigades, claimed responsibility. With tensions flaring near the Golan Heights, these strikes could derail fragile peace efforts between Israel and Syria.

In a major development, Hamas has officially submitted its response to the Trump-backed Witkoff ceasefire proposal, signaling potential movement in the long-stalled negotiations. According to sources, Hamas has agreed to release 10 living hostages and return the bodies of 18 more—if key conditions are met. The group’s reply comes amid increasing pressure on both sides to halt the conflict. Israeli officials are now reviewing the proposal, as global eyes turn to whether Netanyahu’s war cabinet will accept Hamas’ terms or prolong the fighting.

The move, widely seen as a direct blow to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s regional peace efforts, comes amid soaring tensions over new Israeli settlement expansions. Israel called the visit “provocative” and slammed the Palestinian Authority for failing to condemn past attacks

Twenty-four Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire while waiting for aid distribution, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry. Sky News
In a move condemned by Palestinians and rights groups, Israel has approved 22 new Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank—marking the largest such expansion in over 30 years. Some of the outposts will be legalized retroactively, while others are entirely new. Ministers Katz and Smotrich claim it’s a strategic step to prevent a Palestinian state. The Palestinian Authority called the move a “dangerous escalation.” As peace talks stall and tensions rise, this decision is seen as a major blow to the two-state solution supported by much of the international community.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Settlements Minister Orit Strock have strongly rejected the US-backed phased ceasefire deal with Hamas. Smotrich warned against giving Hamas a “lifeline” as the group faces mounting pressure, asserting that Israel must not withdraw from recaptured areas like the Morag Corridor. Strock echoed the sentiment, urging PM Netanyahu not to “fold” when Hamas is “on its knees.” Their remarks signal growing dissent within the Israeli cabinet as international pressure to end the war mounts amid fierce battlefield realities.

Asian markets surged after the U.S. and China held "substantial" trade talks in Geneva, offering hope for a resolution to the tariff war that has shaken global markets. With earlier tariffs reaching as high as 145% on Chinese goods and 125% in retaliation, fears of a recession had loomed large. But both sides called the discussions constructive, raising expectations for a deal. The WTO praised the talks as a "significant step forward," while U.S. futures, oil, and the dollar all climbed on optimism of easing tensions.
