Israel has announced the destruction of a massive Hamas tunnel stretching hundreds of meters beneath northern Gaza, releasing dramatic footage of the demolition. The IDF says the tunnel was part of Hamas's underground military network and was destroyed during engineering operations carried out by the 99th Division and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit. In a separate operation, the Israeli military and Shin Bet said they carried out a precision airstrike that killed Wael Musa Khaled al-Ladawi, whom they identified as the commander of Hamas's Internal Security forces in the central Gaza camps.

The confrontation between the United States and Iran has escalated sharply, with both sides announcing major military operations across the Gulf region. Iran has claimed that it crippled US drone capabilities in Bahrain, alleging that an American military drone fleet was destroyed during its latest wave of attacks. Tehran also claimed that its military operations targeted US-linked facilities across the region, including drone strikes on military installations in Kuwait. According to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, attacks were carried out against Ali Al Salem Air Base and Ahmad Al-Jaber Air Base in Kuwait as part of what it described as an expanding campaign against American military assets. Iranian officials further alleged that regional drone operations remain active despite the ongoing conflict. WATCH
