One drone struck a building in the city of Beit Shean, causing a fire and major structural damage, Israel Hayom confirmed. Israeli police said the explosion ignited a blaze in a two-story building, while rescue authorities were searching for possible victims under the rubble.
No casualties were immediately reported.
The Israeli Home Front Command activated sirens again less than an hour later in the Arava Valley near the Dead Sea. According to public radio, the Israeli Air Force intercepted another drone that entered the area without causing injuries or damage.
Sirens also sounded in southern Golan, the Negev industrial zone, and Eilat, with reports of additional Iranian drones entering Israeli airspace.

Probe links members of new Syrian government to Alawite massacres
Shafaq News – Damascus Sunni fighters aligned with Syria's new government in Damascus carried out mass killings in Alawite-populated areas along the Mediterranean coast, a Reuters investigation revealed on Monday. The report identified the March 7–9 attacks, which left nearly 1,500 dead and dozens unaccounted for, documenting retaliatory assaults—including killings, beatings, and looting—across more than 40 locations targeting the Alawite community, long associated with the al-Assad regime. Findings indicated that at least ten armed factions were involved in the offensive, including foreign fighters now operating under the authority of the new government. Nearly half of these groups have been under international sanctions for years over documented human rights violations, including executions, abductions, and acts of sexual violence. The revelations surfaced as the administration of US President Donald Trump gradually eases sanctions imposed during the al-Assad era. The shift has raised concerns in Washington, particularly given that Syria's new government is led by an Islamist faction formerly known as Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham. Previously operating as Jabhat al-Nusra, an Al-Qaeda affiliate, the group was dissolved following al-Assad's fall. However, Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, which was led by current transitional Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, has been under United Nations sanctions since 2014.

Iran reports new death toll from war with Israel
Shafaq News – Tehran On Monday, Iran's judiciary announced that 935 people were killed during the 12-day war with Israel. Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir stated that the updated toll is based on the latest forensic data and includes 38 children, 132 women, and 79 individuals who died in an Israeli airstrike on Evin Prison. The new figure significantly exceeds the earlier death toll of 610 reported by Iran's Ministry of Health before a ceasefire came into effect on June 24. The war began on June 13 with a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting multiple sites inside Iran, including the assassination of several senior military officials and nuclear scientists. Iran retaliated by launching ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv and other areas in Israel. The exchanges escalated into nearly two weeks of attacks. The conflict widened further when the United States directly intervened, striking Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz on June 22. In response, Iran targeted the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

'Our teams are exhausted and working under extreme conditions,' he cautioned, describing the health system as near collapse. In a statement, Hamas urged Arab and Islamic countries, along with the international community, to intervene and stop what it called Israel's 'systematic ethnic cleansing campaign,' describing the strike on the crowded beach café as a 'massacre' of displaced civilians while accusing Israel of deliberately attacking shelters, aid centers, and residential neighborhoods. لحظة قصف طيران الاحتلال عمارة "أشواق" شرق مدينة غزة. — شبكة قدس الإخبارية (@qudsn) June 30, 2025 'These are clear war crimes happening in plain view,' the group charged, demanding global powers rein in what it described as Netanyahu's reckless and lawless campaign after nearly 20 months of relentless bombardment.
