US raids in Iraq and Syria, Russia calls for urgent meeting of the UN Security Council. Washington: eight drones destroyed off the coast of Yemen, four on the ground.

Hamas has condemned US attacks in Syria, saying Washington has poured 'fuel on the fire' in the Middle East. The American raids expected for days in response to the killing of three US soldiers in Jordan have arrived and will continue for days as part of a large-scale and multi-level response. The US raids angered Iraq, which called them "a violation of territorial sovereignty."
