The IDF announced that they have once again increased the operational readiness in the area surrounding the Gaza Strip.
This comes as Israeli forces returned approximately 600 Palestinian prisoners to their cells in the occupied parts of the West Bank, in violation of the hostage and ceasefire agreement with Hamas and their allies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanded the complete evacuation of southern Syria from the military forces of the "new regime" (HTS).
He added that he will not allow HTS to attack the Druze community in southern Syria, and that the new Syrian government would not be allowed to deploy their forces south of Damascus.
"Israeli troops will stay in these newly occupied territories for "an unlimited period of time… We will not allow [HTS] forces or the new Syrian army to move into territory south of Damascus," he added.

Regarding the situation in Bilohorivka:
Extremely fierce fighting continues in and around the village, with Russian forces making important progress, while Ukrainian forces put up significant resistance, and are counterattacking in some places.
As I have so much more information on this than I usually would, and to make it easier to understand the complex situation here, I will split this special report into three parts: The north - which is the main section of Bilohorivka, the centre, which is the "white mountain" area, and the south - which is the forests.
Starting off with the situation in the north, after capturing the bunker network at the backfill of the chalk quarry, Russian forces - as expected - began attacking down the south-westernmost street of Bilohorivka, clearing the ruins and basements from Ukrainian soldiers. After a while, they were able to reach the western end of the street, and almost immediately began assault operations on the treeline positions to the west.
Russian forces advanced along the raised-up ground through the treeline for over 200 metres, capturing new positions there. This advance allowed them to exert stronger control over the approaches to western Bilohorivka.
Meanwhile in Bilohorivka itself, fierce fighting continues, with the grey zone extending to the centre of the village. Some Ukrainian soldiers are still holding positions in the basements of houses there and are attempting to use the remnants of the forest just to the west for resuppliment and movement out of the positions. Russian forces from the 7th brigade are slowly clearing the western streets of the village.
Ukrainian forces are also attempting to counterattack in the area of the southern street, moving through the forest in the grey zone, and are trying to gain a foothold on the last street of Bilohorivka, although it appears that they are unsuccessful so far. Russian forces, possibly from the 1102nd regiment, are also attacking in this exact same area, attempting to reach the forest in the grey zone, capture the "eyelash" position there, and move through towards the larger forest further west which is under solid Ukrainian control.
In the central part, it turns out that Ukrainian forces maintain a few positions and dugouts at the western face of the "white mountain". It is unclear how they are resupplied, likely either with drones, or with resuppliment via the chalk quarry to the west.
Meanwhile, Russian forces from the the 12th territorial defence battalion advanced from the newly captured bunker network and gained a foothold on the southern end of a treeline. They then moved north, clearing Ukrainian trenches, and reached the northern end at the intersection with the longer treeline which I talked about earlier.
And, in the southern section, Russian forces from the 3rd battalion of the 7th brigade continued their offensive in a general northerly direction, capturing positions in the forests southwest of Bilohorivka.
They advanced down one treeline at the regional border between Luhansk and Donetsk Oblast, and entered the western part of the forest, gaining a foothold. They are now trying to move through the rest of the western part of this forest (which is in the grey zone), to the treeline to the north where Ukrainian forces are holding the defence and counterattacking in small groups.
Further east, Russian forces advanced from the other treeline in the area, capturing numerous positions in the southern part of the forest, pushing the rest into the grey zone. This threatens the resuppliment of the Ukrainian formations at the white mountain.
Russian forces also advanced to a treeline in Donetsk Oblast, gaining a foothold on the southern end of it.
+ ~2.30km² in favour of Russia.
