Iran's military says it launched drone strikes targeting US military facilities at Ahmad al-Jaber Air Base in Kuwait, claiming the attack struck aircraft shelters, satellite communications systems and equipment storage facilities. China's Foreign Ministry says one of the strikes also hit a building belonging to a Chinese company in Kuwait, but confirms no Chinese citizens were injured. Spokesperson Mao Ning says Beijing has urged Kuwaiti authorities to take effective measures to protect Chinese nationals and Chinese institutions. Tehran says the operation was carried out "in response to the recent aggression by the terrorist US military against our country" and what it described as a "brutal attack on a residential home on Qeshm Island." There has been no immediate comment from US Central Command (CENTCOM).

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz say they directed an operation to destroy Hezbollah's underground tunnel network in the Beaufort area of southern Lebanon, where approximately 700 tons of explosives were used. The joint statement describes the underground complex as a central part of Hezbollah's planned invasion of communities in the Galilee, saying the operation was part of Israel's ongoing campaign to dismantle the terror group's infrastructure in southern Lebanon. It was carried out following what the two leaders called Hezbollah's "blatant violation" of the ceasefire agreement. "The State of Israel will not accept any violation of the ceasefire agreement," the statement says. It warns that any attempt by Hezbollah to target Israeli civilians or Israeli forces "will be met with a harsh and powerful response" that will exact "a heavy price" from the terror organization. The statement adds that Israeli forces will remain in the security zone in southern Lebanon and continue destroying terror infrastructure to prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding its capabilities.

President Donald Trump announced that his Board of Peace has reached what he described as an agreement for the "complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza." The agreement was reportedly signed Thursday by Hamas negotiators, the Board of Peace, and mediators from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey. However, its future remains uncertain after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said the Board of Peace's 15-point proposal "does not meet" Israel's demand for the complete demilitarization of Gaza. Trump called the agreement "a critical step," saying it would allow Gaza to be governed by "a new Palestinian government" while ensuring "Israel will have the security it deserves." He said the plan would be implemented in phases, with Israeli forces withdrawing as disarmament progresses and an International Stabilization Force working alongside a new Palestinian police force. Calling it "a major milestone" in his 20-Point Plan, Trump said, "We have made historic progress and there is still much work to do." He also thanked Egypt, Qatar, Turkey and his negotiating team, adding that "the threat that emerged from Gaza on October 7 will NOT be allowed to rebuild."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continued a series of meetings in Washington on Wednesday, holding talks with U.S. lawmakers and key pro-Israel leaders, including Senators John Fetterman, Tim Sheehy, Ted Cruz, AIPAC officials, and leaders of the Evangelical community. Sara Netanyahu joined several of the meetings. During the discussions, Netanyahu thanked his guests for their continued backing of Israel, praising their support for the U.S.-Israel alliance and efforts against Iran and its regional proxies. In his meeting with Evangelical leaders, he called on supporters to stand firm against growing antisemitism and anti-Evangelical hostility, saying the two communities "are one" and urging them to "fight, fight, fight." Sen. John Fetterman reaffirmed his strong support for Israel, calling it "a miracle" and saying he was proud to remain one of its strongest Democratic supporters in Congress. He defended Israel's military campaign against Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, while expressing regret over what Israel and the Jewish people have endured since October 7. Netanyahu responded by thanking Fetterman for his "courage and clarity," saying history would remember his commitment to "truth and justice." Netanyahu also met with Sen. Tim Sheehy, who said true allies reveal themselves "when you're under siege, not when it's sunny," while Netanyahu thanked him for standing with Israel. The prime minister later held additional meetings with AIPAC leadership and Sen. Ted Cruz as he continued his diplomatic visit in Washington.
