At one o'clock in the afternoon, multiple incidents highlight the ongoing security and humanitarian concerns in the region. A large wildfire erupted in the open areas near Nahal Aviv, within the Daliya Nature Reserve and Tinnim Stream. Firefighting teams from Hadera and aircraft from the Megiddo squadron responded swiftly, battling the flames that spread rapidly through dense vegetation, including reed beds along a difficult-to-access streambed. After prolonged efforts, the fire was contained, though some areas continue to smolder, and smoke has risen significantly, impacting air quality.
Meanwhile, Israeli military forces have uncovered a significant underground command center of Hamas beneath the European Hospital in Khan Yunis. This complex includes advanced command and control rooms, weaponry, military equipment, and valuable intelligence documents. The operation involved elite units from the Golani Brigade, Yahalom unit, and special forces of the Intelligence Directorate, under the guidance of the Southern Command and 36th Armored Brigade. Israeli officials, including the commanders of Southern Command and the brigade, conducted an assessment on-site, emphasizing the strategic importance of these findings in Israel’s efforts to weaken Hamas’s infrastructure.

The organization reports that Hamas aims to divert aid and manipulate distribution channels for its own benefit, hindering the delivery of essential supplies to hundreds of thousands of Gazans. Despite these threats, the GHF affirms its commitment to resuming aid distribution once security conditions permit, emphasizing their efforts to adapt operations amidst these challenges.
