The morning began with reports of a Yemeni missile striking Ben Gurion Airport after penetrating Israeli air defenses. Six people were reportedly injured, with Israeli military admitting interception failure. Ten airlines subsequently suspended flights to Tel Aviv. Yemeni forces later announced plans to impose a "complete air blockade" on Israel, which Hamas praised as solidarity with Gaza.

Gaza's humanitarian crisis deepened with reports that 3,500 children under five face starvation due to Israel blocking milk and nutritional supplements. Hospital fuel supplies were projected to deplete within 72 hours. The Gaza death toll reached 52,535.

Military developments included Al-Qassam Brigades revealing details of complex ambushes against Israeli forces in Rafah, where two special forces soldiers were killed. Meanwhile, Netanyahu announced a phased plan for Gaza "resolution" as Israel called up thousands of reserve soldiers, despite reports of widespread refusals to serve.
