A fire broke out last night at a Jerusalem synagogue where former Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel Yitzhak Yosef regularly prays, according to Israeli media reports.

Footage and photographs seen by Al Jazeera show soot on the floor of the synagogue and property, including religious books, apparently vandalised.

A spokesman at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, in central Gaza, has provided Al Jazeera with an update about the latest healthcare situation in Gaza.

Here is a summary of his translated comments:

The fuel supplies in Gaza hospitals are enough only for two days.
The injured are facing difficulty reaching hospitals in southern Gaza.
The hospital’s artificial kidney department is out of service due to the occupation’s attacks.
We call on the world to pressure the occupation to open the crossings to allow the entry of medical supplies.Israel bombs southern Syria
The Israeli military says it struck a member of Hamas in southern Syria, in the Mazraat Beit Jinn area, days after Israel carried out its first air raids on the country in nearly a month.

Hamas did not immediately comment on the attack.

Israel said on Tuesday it hit weapons belonging to the government in retaliation for the firing of two projectiles for the first time under the country’s new leadership, as Defence Minister Israel Katz held Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa accountable.

In response, Damascus said reports of the shelling were unverified, reiterating that Syria does not pose a threat to any regional party.

A little-known group, Martyr Muhammad Deif Brigades, an apparent reference to Hamas’s military leader who was killed in an Israeli attack in 2024, reportedly claimed responsibility for the shelling.

Israel and Syria have recently engaged in direct talks to calm tensions.
