Israeli leadership rejected a US-led Gaza peace framework while strikes hit Gaza and southern Lebanon, alongside warnings from Iranian military officials.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally rejected a 15-point Gaza disarmament framework proposed by a US-led peace committee, asserting Hamas is using the initiative to stall military operations. Despite the rejection, Israeli leadership quietly authorized preliminary reconstruction efforts in southern Gaza.

Military actions persisted across multiple fronts. Israeli airstrikes in Khan Younis killed a Hamas company commander accused of planning an imminent assault. In southern Lebanon, Israeli forces struck Tebnine and al-Mansouri during peace talks in Rome, leaving one person dead and 11 injured following alleged Hezbollah ceasefire violations.

Concurrently, Iranian military leadership warned of decisive counter-strikes against any foreign ground incursions, as Washington noted mounting economic pressure on Tehran. Iranian authorities also announced the execution of two individuals accused of spying for Israel and the United States.
