Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims Iran will not pursue nuclear weapons following U.S. and Israeli strikes, stating Tehran is afraid after feeling "the might of America and Israel."

An initial IDF probe found that infantry soldiers on foot were hit by a roadside bomb in Beit Hanoun and came under fire while evacuating the wounded, the report added. The Qassam brigades, the military wing of Hamas, claimed the attack, describing it as a "well-planned ambush," in an Arabic statement.
