North Korea has conducted a ballistic missile test coinciding with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to South Korea for high-level diplomatic talks. The missile, believed to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), traveled over 1,100 kilometers before landing in the sea. South Korea's military condemned the act as a "clear provocation," while the timing raises questions about Pyongyang's intent to influence the summit discussions. As tensions rise, South Korea, the U.S., and Japan are coordinating their response. Is this a strategic warning from North Korea, or a sign of further escalation to come?

The terms of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire include the release of 98 hostages, including 33 Israelis, as part of a deal brokered by the US, Qatar, and Egypt. The release will occur in phases, with 3 American-Israeli hostages also being freed. In return, Israel will release Palestinian detainees, with the number increasing for female detainees. Israel has agreed to allow significant aid into Gaza and will withdraw troops from urban areas. There are also provisions for reopening the Rafah border crossing to Egypt, which will allow displaced Palestinians to return home. The ceasefire is seen as a significant step in the ongoing conflict, but it remains to be seen how the situation will evolve, particularly in Gaza, where humanitarian needs are critical.

In a shocking escalation, Saraya Al-Quds, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, launched a relentless barrage of 107 rockets and mortars targeting Israeli soldiers in Gaza.

Intense ground clashes erupted between the Al-Quds Brigade and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), with both sides exchanging heavy fire.

Israel released Palestinian prisoners as Hamas freed hostages under a U.S.-brokered deal.
