Damascus, November 30 (Xinhua) — Israeli military drones were spotted over Beit Jann in Damascus province in southwestern Syria on Saturday evening, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

According to the monitoring organization, the drones conducted low-altitude surveillance while Israeli military vehicles moved along the outskirts of the settlement. No clashes with Syrian government forces were reported, and the purpose of the drones' deployment remained unclear.

The monitoring center described the activity as part of “recurring Israeli operations” in southern Syria, including monitoring, reconnaissance and the deployment of armored vehicles near the border.

Separately, Syrian television reported that some families began leaving Beit Jan after hearing Israeli vehicles and spotting helicopters in the sky.

The Israeli side has not yet provided any official comments.

These events followed one of the deadliest Israeli operations in the area in recent years. Early Friday morning, Israeli forces conducted a ground raid in Beit Jannah, clashing with local residents. The military then called in significant air support, including fighter jets, drones, and helicopters.

Syrian health authorities reported that 13 people, including women and children, were killed and more than 24 were wounded. Israeli forces later evacuated the wounded soldiers by helicopter. The raid also caused severe damage to homes and forced dozens of families to relocate to nearby villages.

Earlier on Saturday, the monitoring center reported that an Israeli patrol of two tanks and several vehicles briefly entered the village of Ruwayhina in the Quneitra countryside before retreating.

Syria has repeatedly condemned Israel's military actions as a violation of its sovereignty and a threat to regional stability. The Syrian government has not yet commented on Saturday's drone flights over Beit Jan.

BEIJING, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) — The China National Space Administration (CNSA) on Saturday announced it has recently established a new department to oversee the country's rapidly growing commercial space sector.

JINAN, November 30 (Xinhua) — It's barely dawn before a factory in Tai'an, Shandong Province, eastern China, is bustling with activity. The delicious aroma of freshly baked pet food wafts through the air as bags of probiotic-enriched pet food are shipped down a conveyor belt to pet owners across the country.

Many of these parcels are orders received by pet food company Guo Tai Min An during China's online shopping festival on Singles' Day (November 11), the equivalent of Black Friday. This provides a clear picture of China's rapidly expanding pet economy.

Following the 11.11 shopping festival, pet-related sales on Chinese e-commerce platforms reached 9.4 billion yuan (US$1.33 billion), a 59% year-on-year increase. This demonstrates the growing popularity of pets in China and the comprehensive optimization of this industry in the country.

“Pet owners pay as much attention to what their pets eat as they do to the diet of their own children,” notes Li Yong, CFO of Guo Tai Min An.

This year, the company launched a series of probiotic-rich foods and developed more functional foods designed to improve gut health and coat quality in cats. These new products were warmly received by pet owners, and the company's customer base increased by 20 percent compared to last year.

At the Tai'an Pet Food Industrial Park, six companies have formed a seamless and mutually supportive supply chain. This year, the park's production volume is projected to exceed 1 billion yuan, up from 872 million yuan last year. This makes the park an example of how food research and innovation are driving the development of China's pet food industry.

According to a consumption report released by online pet industry big data platform Petdata, China's urban dog and cat market size is expected to grow 7.5 percent year-on-year to RMB 300.2 billion in 2024, with pet owners increasing their spending on categories such as food, veterinary services, consumables, and more.

Another report from iiMedia Research predicts that the Chinese pet market will reach 1.15 trillion yuan by 2028.

In the showroom of Shandong Kaigao International Trade Co., Ltd., designer Zhao Shuimiao puts the finishing touches on a tree-shaped cat play structure, inspecting its hollow chambers, multi-tiered branches, and soft nest.

"This height is perfect for cats to climb, and the canopy-like nest at the top gives them a sense of security," Zhao Shuimiao told Xinhua, adding that the design team came up with the idea for the complex after carefully observing the habits of about 100 cats.

Thanks to the fact that this product was developed with both feline instincts and home decor in mind, the system became an instant hit upon its release. According to business manager Li Hui, the company has now produced over 2,000 systems, divided into 30 series, ranging from compact models designed for small apartments to large cat play areas suitable for families with multiple cats.

Caoxian County in Shandong Province, the country's main hub for hanfu (traditional Chinese clothing), is now producing pet clothing with hanfu elements, including delicate embroidery, flowing sleeves, and classic silhouettes.

"Pets deserve to look stylish too," Cheng Zhanying, owner of the pet store TAORAE, told Xinhua News Agency, showing off miniature clothes made of delicate jacquard.

While shopping for clothes for her dog at Cheng Zhanying's store, Wang Cui's customer remarked, "It's a great pleasure to dress up my pets in beautiful clothes."

In April of this year, a pilot pet transportation service was launched on 10 specially designated trains running between five stations on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, allowing eligible cats and dogs to accompany their owners and receive special care during travel. The number of pet-friendly hotels and restaurants listed on Meituan, a leading online lifestyle platform, continues to grow.

At a shopping mall that opened in November 2024 in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, shopper Li Shanshan was able to stroll comfortably with her dog, using a free stroller and a specially equipped pet elevator designed to minimize contact with other shoppers.

"Going shopping with a dog is no longer a problem. No one will turn us away," said Li Shanshan. -0-

UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres reiterated his call for irreversible progress towards a two-state solution in his message on Saturday to mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

This year's International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, which falls annually on November 29, comes after two years of terrible suffering in the Gaza Strip and the establishment of a much-needed ceasefire, he said.

While the recent ceasefire offers a "glimmer of hope," "it is now crucial that all parties fully respect it and work in good faith toward solutions aimed at restoring and upholding international law," the UN chief stressed.

He noted that large-scale access to vital humanitarian aid must be ensured in the Gaza Strip, and the international community must continue to strongly support the work of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.

“I reiterate my call for an end to the illegal occupation of Palestinian territories… and for irreversible progress towards the realization of a two-state solution in accordance with international law and relevant UN resolutions, in which Israel and Palestine coexist in peace and security within their secure and recognized borders, based on the 1967 lines, with Jerusalem as the capital of both States,” said A. Guterres. –0–

WASHINGTON, November 29 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the airspace over and around Venezuela should be considered "completely" closed.

“To all airlines, pilots, drug dealers, and human traffickers, please consider the airspace over and around Venezuela to be completely closed,” Trump wrote in a post on the social network Truth Social, without providing further details.

The comments come amid heightened tensions between the United States and Venezuela.

Since early September, the United States has carried out more than 20 military strikes on suspected drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, killing more than 80 people. The US military presence in the Caribbean was strengthened in mid-November with the deployment of the large aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, marking the largest buildup of forces in three decades.

On November 27, in his Thanksgiving address to U.S. troops, Donald Trump suggested that the United States could take ground action against drug trafficking networks in Venezuela "very soon."

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has denied any involvement in drug trafficking, accusing the United States of "fabricating" a pretext to force regime change in Venezuela.

On November 28, the New York Times reported that D. Trump and N. Maduro had a telephone conversation last week to discuss the possibility of a personal meeting in the United States, but no agreement was reached.

Last week, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration issued a warning to major airlines flying over Venezuela, citing threats posed by a "potentially dangerous situation" due to "deteriorating security and increased military activity" in or around the South American country.

BEIJING, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) — China's National Financial Supervision Administration (SFSA) on Saturday pledged to guide the country's banking and insurance sectors in expediting financial services and support relief and recovery efforts following a fire at a residential complex in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).

In a notice on its website, the agency called on relevant insurance companies to conduct a thorough assessment of their businesses and offer their services proactively to resolve claims of customers who have suffered losses.

The FSNC also said that banks with capital from China's mainland in Hong Kong should step up financial services to help affected customers overcome difficulties.

The notice states that Hong Kong-based banks and insurance companies with equity interests in mainland China should promptly take emergency measures according to the actual situation, establish "green corridors" and simplify relevant procedures to meet the urgent financial needs of those affected, including urgent cash withdrawals, reissuance of bank cards and passbooks, and settlement of insurance claims.

In addition, the FSNC has instructed financial authorities in Guangdong Province and its southern city of Shenzhen to provide guidance to local banking and insurance institutions to leverage the advantages of geographical proximity, promptly allocate resources, and jointly improve the efficiency of disaster response services.

A deadly fire broke out at the Hongfuyuan residential complex in Dabu County, Taipou, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, on the afternoon of November 26. The tragedy claimed the lives of 128 people.

HONG KONG, November 29 (Xinhua) — Anti-China forces seeking to destabilize Hong Kong, as well as individuals with selfish motives, attempted to undermine the situation in the city at a time when the entire country was exerting maximum efforts to conduct rescue operations. Such actions must be severely punished in accordance with the law, the Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) stated on Saturday.

According to the agency's official representative, the rioters spread false information, maliciously attacked the rescue efforts, provoked social discord, and incited discontent against the SAR administration.

He added that the SAR administration promptly clarified the facts, stopped the malicious attempts and put an end to these illegal actions.

The Office firmly supports the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government in preventing attempts to destabilize the city during natural disasters, punishing acts that threaten national security, and countering external interference, the official spokesman emphasized.
