Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a 15-point Gaza disarmament proposal while military strikes hit Khan Younis and southern Lebanon.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a 15-point Gaza disarmament proposal drafted by a US-led committee, claiming Hamas is using diplomatic talks to delay military action. However, Israeli officials have reportedly permitted preliminary reconstruction initiatives in southern Gaza to proceed.

On the ground, Israeli forces launched airstrikes in Khan Younis, killing a Hamas commander accused of preparing an attack. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes hit Tebnine and al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon, leaving one person dead and 11 injured. The military issued evacuation notices prior to the attacks, citing Hezbollah ceasefire violations as diplomatic talks took place in Rome.

In Tehran, Iranian military commanders warned of strong counterattacks against potential foreign ground operations, while state authorities announced the execution of two individuals convicted of spying for Israel and the United States.
