Israeli forces reported that around 15 members of the Hamas group emerged from tunnels in eastern Rafah, with six killed in airstrikes and five captured. The military continues to search for additional operatives in the area, as violent incidents persist despite a ceasefire agreement. The ceasefire, intended as a first step toward long-term peace, has seen ongoing attacks and responses, resulting in casualties among both soldiers and Palestinian civilians, including children. Humanitarian agencies highlight ongoing challenges in Gaza, with food shortages, high prices, and medical needs exacerbated by recent weather and conflict.
