Damascus, April 3 (RHC)-- Israel launched a wave of airstrikes across Syria, including an attack on Daraa that killed at least nine civilians, according to a local official.   Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the strikes targeted Syrian military infrastructure, calling them a “warning for the future.”  Syria’s Foreign Ministry called the attacks a “blatant violation of international law and Syrian sovereignty.”

In Yemen, leaders of the Houthi movement say five people were killed in two waves of strikes on Hodeidah province Wednesday.  The Trump administration has launched near-daily attacks on Yemen since mid-March, when the Houthis resumed attacks on ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
