 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence.

  Israeli airstrikes reportedly kill soldiers in Syria, officials say


Israel carried out two consecutive nights of airstrikes on al-Kiswah, a suburb of Damascus, Syrian officials reported, with at least six Syrian soldiers killed in the attacks. State media also reported a rare “airborne landing” by Israeli forces in the same area, though the timing of the operation was not specified.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry condemned the strikes as a “clear breach of sovereignty and territorial integrity” and accused Israel of pursuing policies that destabilize the region. Syrian reports said the soldiers killed had been patrolling the area when they discovered “surveillance and eavesdropping equipment,” and additional government personnel were injured while vehicles were destroyed. Israeli officials have not commented on the operations.

The attacks follow heightened Israeli military activity in Syria since rebels overthrew Bashar al-Assad’s predecessor, with hundreds of airstrikes targeting military assets and a U.N.-patrolled buffer zone in the south. Last month, Israel struck Syrian forces in Damascus and Sweida province amid sectarian violence involving the Druse minority, citing a need to protect the Druse community.

Israel maintains close ties with its own Druse population and has sought to strengthen relationships with the Druse in southern Syria as a potential ally and buffer against hostile groups near its border. Syrian authorities say they do not seek conflict with Israel, but Israeli officials continue to cite security concerns for military interventions.

Earlier this month, Syrian and Israeli officials met in Paris for U.S.-mediated talks aimed at improving relations after decades of hostility, marking the first public acknowledgment of direct discussions between Syria’s new government and Israel.
