The Israeli Defense Forces say they have killed multiple Hamas operatives in separate strikes across Gaza, including an anti-tank unit commander and a Hamas commander accused of holding Israeli hostages. In a strike on the Al-Shati area of northern Gaza, the IDF says it eliminated Bilal Ibrahim Saleh Raqi'i, identified as a commander in Hamas's military wing's anti-tank array. The IDF also said Azzam Rifaat Abd Abadala, described as an operative in Hamas's Khan Younis Brigade, was killed in a separate strike in southern Gaza. In another operation in Khan Younis, Israel says it killed Ismail Mohammed Ibrahim Barim, a Hamas military-wing commander who allegedly participated in holding Israeli hostages Edan Alexander, Matan Zangauker and Avera Mengistu in an underground tunnel in southern Gaza.

A 13-day-old CCTV video has surfaced from Karnataka's Mandya district, showing a heated confrontation between BJP MLA B Suresh Gowda's daughter Aishwarya and woman PSI Savitha B Patil at the Aarti Ukkada temple in Srirangapatna. The footage appears to show Aishwarya slapping the police officer, who then appears to strike back. People at the spot subsequently intervene and separate the two. The confrontation reportedly began during Bhima Amavasya celebrations on August 12, after Aishwarya was allegedly asked to wait before entering the temple's sanctum because of the heavy crowd.
