Overnight Israeli strikes in the central Gaza Strip resulted in the deaths of at least six individuals, including a woman, according to Palestinian medical officials. This development occurred amid reports of ousted Syrian leader Bashar Assad seeking refuge in Moscow, signifying deepening complexities in the region.

The UN Security Council is set to conduct emergency talks on Syria, responding to Russia's request, as tensions continue to mount. Meanwhile, Turkey expresses hopes for a stable Syrian government, advocating for inclusivity among diverse ethnic and religious groups.

In parallel, Israel faces ongoing challenges, responding to drone threats from Iran-backed militants in Yemen and engaging in strikes to prevent the proliferation of strategic weapons in Syria. The Middle East's landscape remains fraught with unrest and uncertainty as various powers navigate shifting alliances.
