Israeli strikes hit southern Lebanon and Gaza as Prime Minister Netanyahu rejected a 15-point peace plan and regional tensions with Iran escalated.

Israeli military forces conducted fresh strikes across southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip as diplomatic negotiations faced setbacks. In southern Lebanon, bombardments targeted Tebnine and al-Mansouri, leaving one person dead and 11 wounded while ceasefire discussions continued in Rome. Meanwhile, Israeli forces killed an alleged Hamas commander in Khan Younis, marking the second such strike in Gaza this week.

Concurrently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially rejected a 15-point disarmament proposal advanced by a US-led peace committee, accusing Hamas of using the diplomatic framework to delay military operations. However, reports indicated Israeli officials tacitly permitted preliminary rebuilding efforts in southern Gaza. In parallel regional developments, US President Donald Trump emphasized escalating economic pressure on Tehran, prompting Iranian military commanders to caution against foreign military intervention.
