Here is what happened today
Today, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed a comprehensive plan for the future of Gaza, outlining the transfer of civil administration to local unnamed "Palestinian players." The proposal allows Israel to maintain its capacity for military operations in the region.

In the last 24 hours, intense Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of over 125 Palestinians. Medical organizations warn of a collapsing healthcare system, with intensive care units operating at 250 percent capacity. Southern regions like Khan Younis and Rafah have faced substantial bombardment.
The Houthis persist in targeting vessels in the Red Sea, with the US Navy reporting a thwarted attack by an explosive-laden drone boat earlier today.
Beirut witnessed a large gathering for the funeral of Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri, who was killed in what is believed to be a targeted assassination by Israel in the Lebanese capital just days ago.
