The day began with reports of 36-40 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes on Jabaliya, with death counts rising to 64 by mid-morning. Palestinian media described "bloodshed that doesn't stop" across northern and southern Gaza.

Meanwhile, diplomatic activity intensified with an Israeli delegation meeting American envoys in Doha regarding ceasefire negotiations. Trump, meeting with Qatar's Emir, hinted at "good news today or Friday" while Netanyahu held "a long series of talks" with US envoy Witkoff.

By afternoon, Israeli forces issued evacuation orders for residents in southern Al-Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City, affecting thousands of displaced people and patients. Hamas condemned Israel for "using starvation as a weapon" against Gazans, while international criticism mounted with France and Spain discussing boycotting Israel.

The day ended with reports of a shooting operation near Salfit that killed one Israeli settler and seriously injured another, which Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida praised as "heroic."
