Five Palestinians were killed in the West Bank amid ongoing clashes between Israeli forces and gunmen at the Nur Shams refugee camp. Road repair equipment was moved to the Rafah crossing for the arrival of 20 trucks of aid from the Egyptian border into Gaza. Israel agreed to allow food and medicine to enter, ensuring it isn't diverted by Hamas. A top Hamas commander, Jehad Mheisen, was reportedly killed in an Israeli airstrike, along with his family. A British-Israeli man, Yonatan Rapoport, was murdered in an October 7 Hamas attack on Kibbutz Be'eri.
