By AFP
Medical sources tell Al Jazeera that at least 93 Palestinians, including 30 people awaiting food aid, were killed in Gaza over the past 24 hours, and the death toll continues to rise amid ongoing Israeli attacks.
At least three people were killed and dozens wounded as Israel carried out a wave of attacks on Syria, including bombing the Defence Ministry and areas near the presidential palace in the capital Damascus.
Syria’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the Israeli bombing of Damascus and Suwayda as an attempt to “ignite tension and chaos” in the country.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 58,573 people and wounded 139,607, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks, and more than 200 were taken captive.
