Gunmen opened fire on a bus carrying Israelis in the occupied West Bank on Monday, killing at least three people and wounding seven others. Violence has surged in the territory since Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 attack out of Gaza ignited the ongoing war there.

The attack occurred in the Palestinian village of Al-Funduq, on one of the main east-west roads crossing the territory. Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service said two women in their 60s and a man in his 40s were killed, and the military said it was looking for the attackers.

Syria's new foreign minister has met with his Qatari counterpart and Qatar's prime minister in Doha, as Syria's new de facto authorities under Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, establish diplomatic ties with regional and global governments.

The Israeli military said Sunday it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen, the latest in a series of recent attacks.

Israel confirmed on Saturday that negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal had resumed in Qatar, as rescuers said more than 30 people had been killed in fresh bombardment of the territory.

The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has notified Congress of a planned $8 billion arms sale to Israel, a source familiar with the plan said.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock had warned Syria's new leaders not to establish an Islamist government after the overthrow of longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad last month.

The Israeli military identified two projectiles fired from the northern Gaza Strip that crossed into Israel on Friday, the latest in a series of launches from the Palestinian territory.

"One projectile fell adjacent to the community of Nir Am and the second projectile fell in an open area. No injuries were reported," the military said in a statement.

France and Germany's top diplomats met Syria's new ruler in Damascus on Friday, in the highest-level visit by major Western powers since the country's new Islamist authorities seized power last month.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says he has authorized a delegation from the Mossad intelligence agency, the Shin Bet internal security agency and the military to continue negotiations in Qatar toward a ceasefire deal in Gaza.

The statement had no further details, but Israeli media said the delegation would depart Friday.

Israeli airstrikes killed at least 50 people across central and southern Gaza, including an attack on a sprawling tent camp that Israel has repeatedly bombed despite designating it a humanitarian safe zone. Israel said the strike targeted a high-ranking police officer, and blames Hamas for civilian deaths.

The airstrikes took place Thursday and continued into Friday. On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he authorized a delegation from the country's intelligence services and military to continue negotiations in Qatar toward a ceasefire deal in Gaza.
