Syria condemns Jordanian strikes on Daraa: at least seven dead
Jordan bombed southern Syria on Monday evening, three days after the attack that killed nine people in a church in Jordan. Amman states it struck Islamic State militants; the Syrian Civil Defense, however, reports at least seven dead between Daraa and Sweida, including three children. The Syrian Foreign Ministry described the action as “a flagrant violation of the principles of good neighborliness and Syrian national sovereignty” (transl. from English), according to SANA (Syrian state agency), proposing a joint security committee. Damascus denies having been informed in advance, while Amman claims the opposite, reports Alanews.

Israel votes, exit polls show Eisenkot ahead of Netanyahu
Polling stations closed at 22:00 local time (21:00 in Italy) in the first Israeli elections since October 7, 2023. Exit polls indicate Gadi Eisenkot’s bloc at 46.6% against Benjamin Netanyahu’s 41.6%, with no clear majority for either side. A different “unofficial” exit poll circulating among media outlets instead projects Likud as the largest party with 24 seats, though within a parliamentary framework unfavorable to Netanyahu. Turnout reached 74.3% at 20:00, already surpassing the 2022 total. Official results are expected on November 4, according to Sky TG24 and Il Giornale d’Italia.

Houthis claim missile attack on Saudi Ras Tanura refinery
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said on Tuesday that a ballistic missile had struck the Saudi refinery at Ras Tanura, a 550,000-barrel-per-day facility, causing a fire. Riyadh did not officially confirm the attack; sources cited by Bloomberg reported that the fire near the terminal had been contained. Earlier, the Saudi-led coalition had said it intercepted four drones and three missiles launched by the Houthis. Despite the escalation, Brent crude fell to $114.01 a barrel, according to Investing.com (Reuters).
