Ceasefire efforts between Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah faltered as Israeli airstrikes killed at least 64 people in Gaza and targeted southern Beirut. The Israeli military announced the killing of senior Hamas official Izz al-Din Kassab. Hamas rejected temporary ceasefire proposals, demanding an end to the war and Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza.
The U.N. warned of an "apocalyptic" situation in northern Gaza due to the ongoing violence. In Lebanon, Israeli strikes resumed after a week, prompting evacuations in Beirut neighborhoods. Local residents criticized the escalation and humanitarian crisis.
