Gaza/Ramallah, November 23 (Xinhua) — Ten Palestinians were killed in an Israeli drone strike in western Gaza City on Saturday, Palestinian sources reported.

The attack, which targeted a civilian vehicle near the Abbas junction in Rimal district, also injured several bystanders and caused the vehicle to catch fire, eyewitnesses and medical sources told Xinhua.

Israeli media reported that the target of the strike was Alaa Hadidi, the head of Hamas's arms procurement department.

Chengdu, November 23 (Xinhua) — The population of captive-bred giant pandas in China has nearly doubled over the past decade, reaching a total of 808 individuals, according to Liu Guohong, head of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration.

This growth has effectively supported the sustainable development of the panda population, Liu Guohong noted at the Global Panda Partners 2025 conference in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, southwest China.

The giant panda population has increased significantly from the 422 individuals recorded at the end of 2015.

Liu Guohong attributed the increase to improved scientific research, including the establishment of the National Innovation Alliance for Giant Panda Protection, which pools research resources to study key issues such as genetic diversity.

In addition, efforts to conserve giant pandas also include the application of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, the establishment of an integrated space-air-ground monitoring system to track pandas, etc., Liu Guohong added.

China has strengthened protection of giant panda habitats. 73 isolated nature reserves have been merged into the Giant Panda National Park, covering a total area of over 22,000 square kilometers.

The Global Panda Partners 2025 Conference, taking place from November 20th to 22nd, includes a main forum, eight parallel sessions, and other events covering topics such as ecological civilization, panda culture, and cultural tourism.

Sichuan Province, known as the "homeland of the giant panda," has the largest panda habitat in the world and is home to more than 70 percent of China's wild giant panda population. -0-

HANGZHOU, November 23 (Xinhua) — A China-Europe train loaded with new energy equipment, electronic components, daily necessities, and other export goods departed from Jinhua South Railway Station in east China's Zhejiang Province on Saturday. This marks the first time since the beginning of 2025 that the number of China-Europe/Central Asia freight trains departing from Zhejiang Province has exceeded 1,200.

During the reporting period, this figure increased by 12 percent year-on-year and was achieved 39 days earlier than last year.

According to staff from the logistics department of the Shanghai branch of China State Railway Corporation (CSRC), in recent years, railway authorities in the Yangtze River Delta region, together with customs authorities and platform companies, have been promoting the construction of "smart checkpoints" in Zhejiang Province. This ensures the public availability of information between railway authorities, customs authorities, stations, and operating companies through the implementation of a unified information platform and facilitates the development of China-Europe freight transport in Zhejiang Province by improving quality, efficiency, and safety.

As a reminder, China-Europe rail freight transport currently operates 26 regular cross-border routes linking Zhejiang Province with over 160 cities in over 50 countries across the Eurasian continent. The range of goods transported continues to expand, and their value is steadily rising. China-Europe trains departing from Zhejiang Province are characterized by ample cargo supply, convenient customs clearance, and extensive geographic coverage.

According to data released at the 2nd China-Europe Freight Train Services International Cooperation Forum, which was recently held in Xi'an, capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi Province, the total number of freight trains operating on these routes has reached nearly 120,000 since the launch of the China-Europe freight train routes. They have carried a total of approximately 12 million TEU (tall unit) containers.

In addition, from January to August 2025, a total of 5,531 trains traveled along the China-Kazakhstan, China-Kyrgyzstan, and China-Turkmenistan routes. These trains carried nearly 520,000 TEUs. -0-
