     Israeli lawmakers have passed a bill paving the way for a ban on Al Jazeera and other foreign news networks deemed a “security risk”.

      Syria says an Israeli air strike has destroyed Iran’s consulate building in Damascus, killing seven people and wounding multiple others. A senior IRGC commander is among the dead, according to Iranian state television.

      The Israeli military has withdrawn from Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital after a two-week raid, leaving behind a trail of destruction.

      The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says departments at al-Shifa Hospital were “set on fire”, and bodies of “executed” civilians are lying around the complex.

      At least four people were killed in an Israeli air attack on the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

      At least 32,845 Palestinians have been killed and 75,392 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attack stands at 1,139, with dozens still held captive.
