- According to the IDF, Byouk planted explosives against troops during the war and worked to rebuild Hamas capabilities, which the military called a systematic breach of the ceasefire.
- The IDF separately said Nael Abu Obeid, commander of Hamas's Rafah Brigade and killed in a strike on Tuesday, had been involved in holding hostages, including the body of Lt. Hadar Goldin and Sgt. 1st Class Nimrod Cohen.
- Israel's military and the Shin Bet later said three Hamas operatives, two of them tied to October 7, were killed in weekend strikes in Gaza.

The Jewish Chronicle
- Palestinian officials said seven people were killed in Israeli strikes in recent days, at least one reportedly a minor, and Reuters noted the accounts could not be independently verified.
Why it matters

Where coverage differs
- Jewish and Israeli pro-Israel outlets led with the identity and record of the targeted commanders, including the hostage-holding claims about Abu Obeid, while the international mainstream report paired the IDF account with Palestinian casualty figures and a caveat that neither side's account could be verified.
