At least seven people were killed, including several children, in an Israeli airstrike that hit a residential building in the Mezzeh neighborhood of Damascus (Syria) late on 8 October.
At least 11 others were injured, as local reports said the attack caused “significant material damage to private property in the surrounding area.”
Officials confirmed none of the casualties were Iranian, as the attack hit near their embassy building.

Today for #WildlifeWednesday we bring you a grey squirrel from Exeter in the UK.
Grey squirrels are famously an invasive species, pushing out the smaller native red squirrels.

I am SO EXCITED about the new #Python 3.13 REPL. But I wonder if it wasn't a bit rushed...
There's no PEP, close to no docs, it's not intended-feature complete, it has surprising behavior and bugs. That's OK for new software, but is it for a major and mature project like Python?
