Israeli forces in Gaza have systematically destroyed buildings in an attempt to create a buffer zone inside the Palestinian territory, experts and rights groups told AFP, raising fears over the civilian cost.

The plan, not publicly confirmed by Israel, appears to entail taking a significant chunk of territory out of the already tiny Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, something experts as well as Israel's foreign allies have warned against.

Yemen's Huthis said Sunday US and British air strikes "will not deter us" and vowed a response after dozens of targets were hit in retaliation for the Iran-backed rebels' repeated Red Sea attacks.

The joint air raids in Yemen late Saturday, denounced by Iran, followed a separate wave of unilateral American strikes against Iran-linked targets in Iraq and Syria in response to a drone attack that killed three US soldiers in Jordan.

Goalkeeper Meshaal Barsham was Qatar's hero as the hosts and holders beat Uzbekistan 3-2 on penalties on Saturday to put them into an Asian Cup semi-final with Japan's conquerors Iran.

Barsham saved three times in the penalty shootout after the quarter-final with Uzbekistan ended 1-1 following 120 minutes of stalemate.

Pedro Miguel slotted in the winning penalty for Qatar in front of almost 60,000 fans at the tent-like Al-Bayt Stadium north of Doha.

The triumphant Qatar players tossed Barsham in the air at the end.

وقصفت الولايات المتحدة خلال الليل جماعات مدعومة من إيران في العراق وسوريا ردا على هجوم مميت على القوات الأمريكية، مما أثار إدانات يوم السبت من الحكومة والجماعات في المنطقة.

وألقت الولايات المتحدة، التي وعدت بمزيد من الضربات، باللوم في هجوم الطائرات بدون طيار يوم الأحد على قاعدة أمريكية في الأردن على القوات المدعومة من إيران.

لكن القوات الأمريكية لم تضرب داخل الأراضي الإيرانية، ويبدو أن واشنطن وطهران حريصان على تجنب حرب شاملة.

Deadly US strikes on Iran-backed forces in Syria and Iraq drew sharp condemnation from the region Saturday, after President Joe Biden vowed further action in retaliation for a deadly attack on American troops.

The United States, whose late Friday strikes killed 45 people, blamed Sunday's drone attack that hit a US base in Jordan on militants backed by Tehran.

US forces however did not strike inside Iranian territory, with both Washington and Tehran seemingly keen to avoid all-out war.

美国隔夜袭击了伊拉克和叙利亚境内伊朗支持的组织，以报复对美军发动的致命袭击，周六遭到该地区政府和组织的谴责。

美国承诺发动更多袭击，并将周日对美国驻约旦基地的无人机袭击归咎于伊朗支持的部队。

然而，美军并未在伊朗领土内发动袭击，华盛顿和德黑兰似乎都渴望避免全面战争。

但由于以色列和哈马斯在加沙的战争，紧张局势已经加剧，叙利亚和伊拉克政府都与德黑兰一起指责华盛顿破坏了地区稳定。

国家安全委员会发言人约翰·柯比表示，美国战机袭击了“七个设施的超过 85 个目标”，其中四个在叙利亚，三个在伊拉克。

他补充说：“这些目标是经过精心选择的，以避免平民伤亡。”

但伊拉克政府表示，该国西部至少有 16 人丧生，其中包括平民，大马士革也报告了平民死亡事件，但一名战争观察员表示，美国对叙利亚的空袭中丧生的 29 人全部都是武装分子。

伊拉克政府发言人巴塞姆·阿瓦迪说：“这次激进的空袭将把伊拉克和该地区的安全局势推向深渊的边缘。”

伊拉克总理穆罕默德·希亚·苏达尼宣布哀悼三天。

伊朗外交部发言人纳赛尔·卡纳尼表示，隔夜行动是“美国政府的又一个战略错误，除了加剧紧张局势和不稳定之外不会有任何结果”。

لا يزال الأتراك المكلومون يتصالحون مع الكيفية التي يمكن بها لزلزال بقوة 7.8 درجة أن يقلب حياة ملايين الأشخاص في غضون ثوانٍ بينما كانوا لا يزالون نائمين.

وأظهرت حصيلة محدثة صدرت الجمعة أن 53537 شخصا لقوا حتفهم في 11 مقاطعة جنوب شرق البلاد تم تحديدها رسميا كمنطقة كارثة.

Turkey on Tuesday holds pre-dawn vigils for the loss of more than 50,000 people -- and parts of entire cities -- in the earthquake-prone country's deadliest disaster of modern times.

Grieving Turks are still coming to terms with how a 7.8-magnitude tremor could upturn the lives of millions of people in a matter of seconds while they were still asleep.

An updated toll released Friday showed that 53,537 people had died across 11 southeaster provinces officially designated as the disaster zone.

Türkiye Salı günü, depreme eğilimli ülkenin modern zamanların en ölümcül felaketinde 50.000'den fazla insanın ve bazı şehirlerin kaybı nedeniyle şafak öncesi nöbet tutuyor.

Kederli Türkler, 7,8 büyüklüğündeki bir sarsıntının milyonlarca insanın hayatını henüz uykudayken nasıl birkaç saniye içinde alt üst edebileceğini hâlâ kabul etmeye çalışıyor.

Cuma günü açıklanan güncellenmiş ölü sayısı, resmi olarak afet bölgesi olarak belirlenen 11 güneydoğu ilinde 53.537 kişinin öldüğünü gösterdi.

Egypt's antiquities ministry said Saturday it was setting up a committee to review the restoration of Giza's Menkaure Pyramid after a public outcry over the project.

A week ago, the head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, Mostafa Waziri, posted a Facebook video showing workers setting blocks of granite on the base of the shortest of the three Giza pyramids.

The footage sparked a storm of criticism from Egyptologists who voiced fears that a wholesale reconstruction of the famed monument was under way, to the detriment of the preservation of its historic fabric.
