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

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally rejected a 15-point Gaza disarmament proposal put forward by a US-led peace committee, stating that Hamas was using the initiative to delay military actions. Despite the rejection, Israeli leadership authorized initial reconstruction efforts in southern Gaza.

Concurrently, military strikes continued across the region. Israeli forces launched an airstrike in Khan Younis, killing a Hamas company commander accused of planning an imminent assault. In southern Lebanon, Israeli strikes targeted Tebnine and al-Mansouri during diplomatic talks in Rome, resulting in one death and 11 injuries following alleged Hezbollah ceasefire violations.

Meanwhile, Iranian military officials warned of decisive responses against any potential foreign ground incursions, while US officials noted rising economic pressure on Tehran. Iranian authorities also announced the execution of two individuals convicted of spying for Israel and the United States.
