Israel rejects Gaza disarmament plan amid ongoing regional strikes

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a US-backed Gaza proposal as military operations in Khan Younis and southern Lebanon continued.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point disarmament proposal for Gaza drafted by a US-led peace committee, stating that Israel "rejects the 15-point document" because Hamas uses diplomatic talks to delay military action. Despite the official rejection, Israeli leadership reportedly permitted preliminary reconstruction initiatives in southern Gaza to proceed.

On the ground, an Israeli airstrike in Khan Younis killed a Hamas commander accused of planning an attack. In southern Lebanon, Israeli strikes hit Tebnine and al-Mansouri following evacuation notices, leaving one person dead and 11 injured. Israeli officials cited Hezbollah ceasefire violations as diplomatic talks occurred in Rome.

In Tehran, Iranian military commanders warned of strong counterattacks against potential foreign ground operations, while authorities announced the execution of two individuals convicted of spying for Israel and the United States.
