An Israeli drone strike has killed at least three Palestinians, including an 8-year-old boy and his grandfather, in the Gaza Strip. Gaza medical workers say the strike hit a tent sheltering displaced people in Deir al-Balah on Monday. Israel's military said it was targeting an unnamed militant. Despite a ceasefire in October, Israeli forces have carried out near-daily strikes in Gaza, killing over 1,045 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Israel says its strikes are targeting militants. Israeli forces also raided locations throughout the occupied West Bank, where the Palestinian Health Ministry reported a 15-year-old from Jerusalem was killed by a gunshot to the head.

Iran has again launched drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait in response to new U.S. airstrikes. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for the attacks that targeted Gulf states hosting U.S. military bases. Iran now threatens a “complete halt" in negotiations to end the war. The Trump administration says technical talks are on track for the coming days. Tensions continue over efforts to resume transits of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passageway for global oil and gas. Iran insists on controlling the strait. Meanwhile, the fighting in Lebanon between Israel and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group also poses a challenge.
Ukraine has intensified its drone attacks on Russia, setting fire to a major oil refinery in the south and killing at least two people, according to Russian authorities. Kyiv's long-range strikes aim to disrupt Russian fuel supplies and military deliveries, pressuring the Kremlin to negotiate. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the strike on the Slavyansk refinery and claimed another hit in the Yaroslavl region. Ukraine's campaign targets Russian military industries and energy facilities to cut Moscow’s revenue and apply pressure. The attacks have stalled Moscow’s battlefield efforts, according to Western officials.
Bahrain and Kuwait both say Iran targeted them with drone and missile fire overnight after new US airstrikes hit Iran.

The U.S. military has launched a second round of airstrikes targeting Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction. That came as Tehran hit both Bahrain and Kuwait, underscoring the rising tensions over the interim deal between the two nations to stop the war. The attack on Kuwait early Sunday was the first since the two sides signed a deal that aimed to halt fighting, and came as a multinational maritime body overseen by the U.S. Navy said Saturday that it would expand a route near Oman in the strait to allow for both inbound and outbound traffic — likely setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.
Bahrain accuses Iran of launching a drone attack targeting the island kingdom.

The U.S. has struck Iran to respond to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a provocation that President Donald Trump said violated the ceasefire. It’s the most significant test yet to an interim understanding reached a week ago by the two countries to begin working to end their months-long war. U.S. Central Command said the military struck missile and drone locations and coastal radar sites in Iran. Ebrahim Azizi, who heads the Iranian parliament’s national security commission, responded to Trump's social media post about Thursday's drone attacks. Azizi said that “this is not a violation of the ceasefire."

The Defense Ministry in Moscow says Ukraine launched a major nighttime drone attack on Russian regions, Crimea, and surrounding seas. It is one of Kyiv's biggest assaults since the Kremlin's invasion over four years ago. Russian air defenses intercepted 660 Ukrainian drones. Ukrainian long-range drones have been targeting oil and energy facilities, disrupting Russian fuel supplies and military deliveries. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy hinted at a "40-day influence operation" to compel Russia to end the war. Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Ukraine's Kharkiv region killed three civilians and wounded 20 others, according to Ukrainian officials.
