- Israeli air strikes in Gaza City killed at least nine people overnight, including four children.
- Abbas Araghchi said no progress has been made in talks with the United States, though communication channels remain open.
- Lebanon Health Ministry reports that 3,516 people have been killed by Israeli attacks on Lebanon since March.
Why it matters: Gaza civilians face a deeper humanitarian crisis as nine people, including four children, are killed, while Lebanon’s death toll of 3,516 highlights the wider regional cost of Israel’s campaign. Iran’s stalled U.S. talks keep diplomatic de‑escalation out of reach.
