Israel expressed deep regret over a deadly strike on Gaza's Holy Family Church, killing three and injuring others. The Israeli Prime Minister's office stated it was a stray shell, while the IDF acknowledged a mistaken hit. The Vatican and Pope Francis expressed sadness. The church, a shelter for Gaza's Christian community, has been attacked before. Meanwhile, ceasefire talks continue, with potential Israeli flexibility on troop withdrawal from the Morag Corridor.
