Israel has rejected a 15-point Gaza disarmament plan as military strikes hit southern Lebanon and Khan Younis amid lingering regional tensions.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point disarmament proposal advanced by a US-led peace committee, arguing that Hamas is using the framework to stall military operations. Despite ongoing diplomatic talks in Rome, Israeli forces conducted airstrikes in southern Lebanon, hitting targets in Tebnine and al-Mansouri, which killed one person and wounded 11 after the military cited Hezbollah truce violations.

In southern Gaza, Israeli forces killed an alleged Hamas commander in Khan Younis accused of preparing an attack. Concurrently, Israeli leadership reportedly provided quiet approval for early reconstruction efforts in southern Gaza.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump highlighted intensifying economic pressure on Tehran and dismissed reports of major financial payouts, prompting Iranian military commanders to issue warnings against any potential foreign ground incursions.
