Israeli fire has killed eight people in the Gaza Strip and three in the West Bank over the past 24 hours, Palestinian officials said, even as a fragile ceasefire with Hamas has largely held.

Israel&s suspension of goods entering Gaza is taking a toll on the enclave, with some bakeries closing and food prices rising, while a cut in the electricity supply could deprive people of clean water, Palestinian officials have said.

Syria&s interim president Ahmed Sharaa said mass killings of members of ousted president Bashar al-Assad&s minority sect were a threat to his mission to unite the country, and promised to punish those responsible, including his own allies if necessary.
