O bombardeamento de EUA, Reino Unido e França contra três alvos sírios, na madrugada deste sábado, durou uma hora. Foi a retaliação pelo uso de armas químicas no passado sábado. Segundo as autoridades sírias, foram contabilizados 110 mísseis. Veja na fotogaleria em cima as imagens da batalha nocturna nos céus de Damasco e dos manifestantes que este sábado de manhã saíram à rua, com bandeiras russas e iranianas (além de sírias) e retratos de Assad, enquanto buzinavam os carros ou dançavam ao som de hinos nacionalistas.
Este vídeo partilhado pelo Syrian Arab Army mostra essa confronto nos céus, enquanto a mesquita chama os fiéis para a oração
Outro vídeo do exército sírio foi partilhado no facebook com o desafio: “Aqueles que dizem que o seu ataque foi bem sucedido é que devem prová-lo, não aqueles que dizem que se defenderam. Mas aqui está outro míssil dos EUA a ser abatido enquanto se se dirigia a um centro de pesquisa das forças armadas sírias”.

Even after 100-120 Nato missiles struck Damascus, hundreds of citizens took to the streets yelling in defiance & pride. Down with Trump & the enemies of Syria and long live the defenders of our land.
