Six Palestinians, including a baby, were killed in an airstrike by Israeli forces on a house belonging to the Al-Henawi family in the Jibaliya refugee camp in the north of the region. Many Palestinians injured in the attack were taken to Kamal Adwan Hospital.
A total of 40,988 civilians have been killed and 94,825 more injured in Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 7.
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.
