Israel rejects Gaza disarmament plan as regional strikes continue

Israel has rejected a 15-point US-backed Gaza disarmament proposal while maintaining military strikes in Gaza and Lebanon as regional tensions persist.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point Gaza disarmament proposal drafted by a US-led peace committee, stating, "I want to clarify here. Israel rejects the 15-point document." Despite the diplomatic standoff, Israeli leadership quietly authorized preliminary reconstruction efforts in southern Gaza.

Concurrently, military activity persisted across the region. Israeli air strikes in Khan Younis killed a Hamas commander allegedly preparing an attack. In southern Lebanon, Israeli bombardments hit Tebnine and al-Mansouri during diplomatic negotiations in Rome, leaving one person dead and 11 injured. Israeli officials attributed the strikes to Hezbollah ceasefire violations.

Meanwhile, Iranian commanders warned against any foreign ground incursions as US President Donald Trump pointed to increasing economic pressure on Tehran.
