An Israeli airstrike on a home in Khan Younis, Gaza, killed at least eight people, including three children, and injured many others, according to Palestinian media. The house targeted belonged to the Farra family. No statement was issued by the Israeli military. Since October 7, 2023, over 50,800 Palestinians have been confirmed dead, with the actual toll estimated to exceed 61,700 due to those missing under rubble.
The US flag has been hoisted once more at the US Embassy in Damascus, Syria, for the first time since its closure in 2012.
US Special Representative for Syria Thomas Barrack made his first official visit to Damascus and personally raised the flag during a ceremony attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Assad Hassan Shaybani. The embassy had suspended operations amid the outbreak of civil conflict following anti-government protests.
No official statement has been issued regarding the resumption of embassy operations.
The move follows a surprise meeting earlier this month between US President Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara in Riyadh, where a decision was made to lift sanctions imposed during the Assad era, signaling a potential shift in Washington-Damascus relations.
