Syria: Two Hospitals Bombed Amid Spate of Attacks on Medics in Idlib
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In Syria, witnesses said warplanes bombed a pair of hospitals in the
rebel-held province of Idlib on Thursday, killing ten people, including
two newborn babies. The Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations
says eight medical facilities in Idlib were deliberately attacked so far
this month, leaving thousands without access to medical care. Local
medics said either Russian or Syrian planes were to blame for the
assaults. The attacks came as Israel launched a series of airstrikes
around Damascus's main airport. The strikes appeared to target weapons
caches bound for Hezbollah in neighboring Lebanon.
