• Trump signs executive order to terminate Syria sanctions

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday to terminate the US sanctions program on Syria, according to the White House.

"The United States is committed to supporting a Syria that is stable, unified, and at peace with itself and its neighbors," Trump said in the order posted by the official Rapid Response account of the Trump 47 White House on X.

"A united Syria that does not offer a safe haven for terrorist organizations and ensures the security of its religious and ethnic minorities will support regional security and prosperity," he added.

Earlier in the day, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that the move aims to support Syria’s “path to stability and peace.”

• 1 wounded in attack on Iraq’s Kirkuk airport

One person was slightly wounded late Monday after three unidentified projectiles struck Kirkuk airport in northern Iraq, according to a statement from airport authorities carried by the official Iraqi News Agency (INA).

The projectiles landed at 11.30 p.m. local time (2030GMT), with two falling in the military section of the airport and one in the civilian area, the airport’s administration said.

The strike caused a brush fire near a gate adjacent to the military zone, which was quickly extinguished by the airport’s fire department.

No damage was reported to the runway or airport facilities. “All airport components remain fully operational,” the statement said.

• Israeli airstrikes kill nearly 100 more Palestinians in Gaza Strip

The Israeli army has escalated its airstrikes and artillery shelling on the southern and eastern parts of Gaza City, especially in the neighborhoods of Zeitoun, Shejaiya, and al-Tuffah, witnesses said.

The army also conducted air strikes on four schools sheltering displaced Palestinians after issuing evacuation warnings -- three of them in the Zeitoun neighborhood and one in al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City, according to local sources.

In the latest attack, at least 34 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed and dozens injured in an Israeli strike targeting the Gaza City beach, a medical source said.
