Key Takeaways:
•
Northern Gaza Strip: Palestinian militias claimed attacks in areas of
the northern Gaza Strip where Israeli forces previously conducted
clearing operations. The claimed attacks are consistent with CTP-ISW's
assessment that Hamas and other Palestinian militias are likely in the
early stages of reconstituting their governance and military
capabilities in the northern Gaza Strip.
•
Central Gaza Strip: Hamas’ military wing conducted a complex attack
that killed 21 Israeli soldiers in the deadliest single attack since
Israeli ground operations began. The IDF Chief of Staff said that the
fallen soldiers were conducting a defensive activity that will allow
Israeli residents to return to their homes surrounding the Gaza Strip.
•
Southern Gaza Strip: Israeli forces located an underground weapons
production facility that it the largest found to date. Palestinian
militias are continuing to execute a deliberate defense against Israeli
operations in western Khan Younis.
•
Political Negotiations: Israel proposed a two-month pause in fighting
in exchange for Hamas releasing over several phases the remaining
hostages held in the Gaza Strip. An anonymous Egyptian official told the
Associated Press that Hamas rejected the proposal.
•
West Bank: Israeli forces clashed with Palestinian fighters twice in
the West Bank. The IDF detained eight wanted individuals and confiscated
weapons.
•
Southern Lebanon and Golan Heights: Lebanese Hezbollah claimed three
attacks from southern Lebanon into northern Israel. Israeli media
reported that the IDF Air Force destroyed an unspecified military asset
used by Hezbollah but operated by Iran.

storage facility and an Iranian-backed militia truck transporting
weapons around Albu Kamal, Syria.
