Iran's Fars news agency, citing an informed member of Iran's negotiation team, said the first round of four-party talks in Switzerland has concluded.

Israel Defense Forces said on the 20th it carried out a precision airstrike in central Gaza that killed Ahmed Samir Mohamed Washa, a member of Hamas’s armed wing whom the IDF said also worked as an Al Jazeera cameraman. The IDF said two other Hamas militants were killed and alleged Washa acted as a sniper for Hamas’s military wing and had planned attacks on Israeli forces, posing a direct threat. The IDF said Washa’s brother, Mohammed Samir Mohamed Washa, a key member of Hamas’s rocket and weapons-production unit who also used an Al Jazeera journalist cover, was killed by Israeli strikes in April.

Libya's National Oil Corporation said crude production reached 1.44 mln barrels per day, the highest level since 2013.
