The US government has issued a warning to Iran, urging restraint.Gaza:In the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have intensified operations against Hamas.

The IDF's actions are part of a broader strategy to dismantle Hamas' military infrastructure and prevent imminent threats.West Bank:Tensions remain high in the West Bank, with the IDF conducting targeted operations against Hamas leaders.
