以色列总理内塔尼亚胡：以色列绝不会对任何针对其士兵的袭击保持沉默，并将对一切威胁采取强硬措施。

Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi on the 15th, ahead of a national memorial ceremony, performed a remote worship facing Yasukuni Shrine from the Budokan parking lot, following the shrine ritual of two bows, two claps and one bow—an action treated as a substitute for an in-person visit. She also, in her capacity as LDP president, presented a tamagushi offering to the shrine. Japan’s defense minister and several other politicians visited Yasukuni the same day. The acts drew strong opposition from domestic peace advocates. Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo’s Chiyoda ward enshrines 14 Class-A World War II war criminals, including former prime minister Hideki Tojo.

A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off Flores island in Indonesia in the early hours of the 15th, the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) said. The epicenter was about 30 km northeast of Mbay in East Nusa Tenggara province at a depth of 15 km. No casualties had been reported at the time; BMKG has issued a tsunami warning.
