Syria and Jordan will set up a joint committee to secure their mutual border following talks between the countries' top diplomats on Tuesday.

Israeli strikes have killed at least 7 children in the southern Gaza, in what the army said was an attack targeting participants in the 7 October attacks.

At least five strikes targeted parts of Khan Yunis, including one in the Al-Mawasi area where thousands of displaced Palestinians are living in tents along the coast.

Four children were killed when a drone strike hit their tent in the Al-Mawasi area, the Hamas-run territory's health ministry reported.

A witness told AFP that several tents caught fire from the strike, which also wounded more than 20 people.

Five people, including three children, were killed and several wounded in a strike on a house in Khan Yunis, Gaza's civil defence agency said.

Two people were killed when a strike hit a car in Khan Yunis, while another two were killed when an apartment was hit.
