Israel has rejected a US-led Gaza disarmament proposal while launching fresh strikes in Gaza and southern Lebanon amid ongoing regional negotiations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a 15-point Gaza disarmament framework proposed by a US-led peace committee, alleging Hamas is using the proposal to delay military actions. Despite the rejection, Israeli officials quietly authorized preliminary reconstruction efforts in southern Gaza.

Simultaneously, military actions escalated across multiple fronts. Israeli airstrikes in Khan Younis killed a Hamas commander accused of preparing an imminent attack. In southern Lebanon, Israeli strikes targeted Tebnine and al-Mansouri during peace negotiations in Rome, resulting in one death and 11 injuries following alleged Hezbollah ceasefire violations.

Meanwhile, Iranian military commanders warned of decisive counter-actions against potential foreign ground operations as US leadership noted growing economic pressure on Tehran.
