One killed and several wounded in Israeli strike on Gaza City

One killed and several wounded in Israeli strike on Gaza City One Palestinian has been killed and several others wounded by an Israeli drone strike on a bicycle in Gaza City's central area, according to Gaza’s civil defence and hospital sources, Al Jazeera reported. This brings the death toll from Israeli strikes across Gaza on Thursday to at least three.

The UN deputy special envoy for Syria, Claudio Cordone, has condemned an Israeli air strike on Syria's Abu al-Duhur airbase, expressing concern over Israeli officials' advocacy for an open-ended military presence in Syrian territory. Cordone emphasized that Israel's actions violate Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, contradicting the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement.

Meanwhile, the US Deputy Representative, Tammy Bruce, has called for de-escalation between Israel and Syria, stating that the US will continue to engage closely with both countries and regional stakeholders to promote dialogue and peaceful solutions.
