Israel has rejected a US-led disarmament proposal for Gaza as military strikes in Gaza and Lebanon continue alongside heightened tensions with Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel has rejected a 15-point disarmament proposal drafted by a US-led peace committee, stating that Hamas would use the framework to stall military operations. Concurrently, reports indicate Israeli leadership has quietly permitted preliminary reconstruction in southern Gaza.

In southern Gaza, Israeli troops killed an alleged Hamas commander in Khan Younis accused of planning an assault on military personnel. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes hit Tebnine and al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon, killing one person and injuring 11, with the military citing Hezbollah ceasefire breaches amid diplomatic negotiations in Rome.

Regionally, US President Donald Trump dismissed claims of massive financial transfers to Tehran while emphasizing growing economic pressure. In response, Iranian commanders warned against any foreign ground incursions, as Iranian authorities claimed to have neutralized operatives linked to Washington and Israel.
