Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israeli Attack on Syria Kills 9; Suspected U.S. Strike on Yemen Kills 5

HeadlineApr 03, 2025

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.
