Israeli forces launched a wide military operation across fifteen towns and cities in the occupied West Bank, arresting Palestinians and displacing more than 2,000 residents from their homes. Troops destroyed a three-storey residential building in Hebron during the raids, which represented an intensifying campaign across the territory. In Gaza, an Israeli airstrike struck the Islamic University of Gaza in Gaza City, killing three staff members and wounding eight students. Additional strikes elsewhere in the Gaza Strip killed four more Palestinians, highlighting the conflict's continued violence despite periodic ceasefire discussions. The military operations coincided with thousands of Israelis gathering in Hostages Square in Tel Aviv to demonstrate against Netanyahu's cabinet and the war's continuation. The protests reflect increasing domestic pressure on the Israeli government concerning both the war's management and the situation of remaining hostages, even as military operations continue across multiple fronts.
