🗞️ In-depth summary

Five people were killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza on Thursday, with a senior Israeli officer confirming the IDF now controls over 60% of the Strip, indicating a fragile ceasefire with Hamas. Medics reported two deaths near Tuffah, one in Zeitoun, one at a displaced persons' encampment in western Gaza City, and another in Khan Younis. The IDF confirmed one strike in northern Gaza killed Nihad Riyad Abd al-Rahim Arouq, a Hamas commander involved in the October 7, 2023, attack, stating he "posed a threat to our forces."

"More than 60% of the Strip is in our hands," said Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth.

This marks the first public confirmation of the IDF's expanded control, which exceeds the area permitted under the October 2025 ceasefire deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously ordered the IDF to take control of 70% of Gaza, a directive that goes against US President Donald Trump's peace plan.
