U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday after a sudden announcement that the United States will lift all sanctions on an Islamist-led government that replaced the Bashar Assad regime.

Sharaa, a former Al Qaeda commander, led the capture of Syria-controlled troops from Assad in December. Sharaa abandoned her ties with Al Qaeda in 2016.

At least 60 people were reportedly killed by Israel during a strike in Gaza, including at the hospital in Khan Yunis

Al Jazeera reported that at least 60 people attacked Israel on Wednesday morning in Gaza. It cites local medical information.

Images from AFP News show the strikes attacked the European Hospital Complex near Khan Yunis and cut the large crater to the ground and cracked the yard outside the European Hospital Building. A damaged bus was living in a hole in the road.

"Everyone in the hospital - the patients and the injured were running in fear, some running on crutches, some screaming for the kids, others being dragged onto the bed."

Israeli media reported that the strike target of the European Hospital Complex was Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar, brother of Yahya Sinwar, the group's former leader, who was killed in operation Israel in October 2024.

Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of using hospitals and other civil buildings as operating bases, which Hamas denied.
