Israeli air force launched a raid on a house in the western areas of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip during the 28-minute reporting window from 3:48:24 p.m. to 4:17:18 p.m. UTC on Jan. 15, 2026, according to an update posted by activist Hamza Al-Masri. In a separate Gaza-related development reported on Network B and sourced from an X post by @eliorlevy, Israeli Minister Gila Gamliel stated that members of a technocratic committee are identified with the Palestinian Authority, providing an example of the committee chairman who served as a deputy minister in a PA-appointed government. Gamliel told X users @Liberwomen and @IshayShnerb that this contradicted @eliorlevy's interpretation of a news release claiming otherwise. Gamaliel added that the committee's job is not to disarm Hamas, a role intended for an international force yet to be established, and expressed doubt that the council would advance given its mission.
