Israel kills scores in Gaza including aid-seeking Palestinians
"Israel has killed at least 68 people in Gaza on Wednesday, including several starving Palestinians who suffocated from tear gas while waiting at US-backed, so-called aid sites in the hope of getting some food.
The killings took place in Khan Younis, Nuseirat refugee camp, Gaza City, Jabalia, Deir al Balah and Netzarim Corridor."

Türkiye’s Foreign Ministry has condemned recent Israeli air strikes targeting central Damascus, calling them a deliberate attempt to undermine Syria’s efforts toward peace, stability, and security.
The ministry said the latest attack by Israel on Damascus, following its previous military interventions in southern Syria, constitutes an act of sabotage against Syria’s attempts to restore peace and order.
Ankara warned that such actions threaten to derail a rare opportunity for the war-torn country to move toward normalisation."

The mosque complex is believed by Abrahamic religions to hold the remains of Prophet Abraham and his family."
