Since the prior SITREP, Iran's IRGC seized two container ships in the Strait of Hormuz — the first such seizures since the start of the war with the US and Israel — while a third vessel was targeted but not captured. The White House stated the seizures do not violate the existing truce, as the ships were neither US nor Israeli-flagged.

Since the prior SITREP, an Israeli airstrike confirmed by Al Jazeera killed Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil and at least four others in Lebanon; separately, unconfirmed reports of explosions in Tehran and Bandar Abbas, and anti-aircraft missile activation in Ahvaz, emerged in the final minutes of the coverage window. The US Senate rejected a fifth Democratic attempt to curtail Trump's war powers against Iran.

Since the prior SITREP, three material developments have emerged: the US House Armed Services Committee was briefed that Iran may have placed 20+ mines in or around the Strait of Hormuz requiring up to six months to clear; Hezbollah conducted loitering munition and missile attacks on IDF positions in southern Lebanon; and a Palestinian man was shot dead during a settler attack on a West Bank town near Ramallah.

Since the prior SITREP, Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil has been confirmed killed — not merely trapped — in the IDF strike at al-Tiri, southern Lebanon, with her body recovered after hours of search. Separately, US Navy Secretary John Phelan has departed the Trump administration immediately, amid ongoing maritime tensions with Iran.

Since the prior SITREP, a second French UNIFIL soldier has died of wounds sustained in last week's Hezbollah attack on UN peacekeepers, and an IDF strike in southern Lebanon wounded journalists at the at-Tiri/Tayri site — with the Papal Ambassador's convoy, UNIFIL, the Lebanese Army, and the Red Cross now present at the scene. The White House has clarified that Trump set no specific deadline for the Iran ceasefire extension, and CENTCOM confirmed it ordered 29 vessels to turn back in the past 24 hours under the Iran naval blockade.

Since the prior SITREP, the US Embassy in Beirut has issued an urgent departure advisory for American citizens in Lebanon, while Hezbollah formally declared it is no longer bound by the ceasefire and claimed four additional drone/glider operations against IDF forces in southern Lebanon. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt simultaneously stated on Fox News that Iran must transfer its enriched uranium to the United States.

Since the prior SITREP, a second French UNIFIL soldier (Cpl. Anicet Girardin) has died of wounds sustained in last week's Hezbollah attack on UN peacekeepers, raising the diplomatic stakes with France and NATO. Simultaneously, the IDF confirmed striking Hezbollah vehicles that crossed the Forward Defense Line near Tayri, killing two fighters, while Al-Manar reported a Hezbollah missile fired at IDF forces in Maroun Al-Ras — unconfirmed by independent sources.

Since the prior SITREP, Iran has executed a former nuclear agency employee convicted of spying for Israel, and Trump announced that eight women protesters facing execution in Iran will be spared. Separately, dozens of Israeli settler activists breached the Syrian border before being escorted out by the IDF, while Lebanon's ceasefire talks Thursday carry a new Israeli demand to repeal the anti-normalisation law.

Since the prior SITREP, a second French UNIFIL peacekeeper has died from wounds sustained in a weekend Hezbollah ambush, confirmed by President Macron — the most significant new development on the Lebanon front. Separately, the IRGC's Strait of Hormuz blockade is now confirmed kinetic, with Iran International SITREP reporting fire on three vessels and seizure of two foreign ships, while Trump has narrowed the US-Iran ceasefire extension to 3–5 days and signalled a second round of talks could occur within 36–72 hours.

Since the prior SITREP, Israeli settlers opened fire on a school in Ramallah killing two people — the most significant new lethal development in the West Bank this cycle. Separately, Hezbollah claimed a drone strike on an Israeli artillery emplacement in Al-Bayyada, and Israeli aircraft conducted a second strike on Al-Tiri in southern Lebanon with reported casualties.
