Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a US-backed Gaza peace proposal as military strikes continued in Gaza and Lebanon, while Iran issued fresh warnings against foreign ground actions.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a 15-point US-backed disarmament plan for Gaza, stating Israel "rejects the 15-point document" because Hamas uses negotiations to delay military action. However, Israeli leadership tacitly authorized initial reconstruction efforts in southern Gaza.

Concurrently, Israeli forces launched an airstrike in Khan Younis, killing a Hamas commander accused of preparing an attack. In southern Lebanon, strikes hit Tebnine and al-Mansouri following evacuation notices, leaving one person dead and 11 injured while talks proceeded in Rome.

In Tehran, Iranian authorities announced the execution of two individuals convicted of spying for Israel and the United States. Iranian commanders warned of decisive counterattacks against potential foreign ground invasions, while US President Donald Trump highlighted mounting economic pressure on Iran.
