Iran Press/ West Asia: The overnight attacks killed several civilians and soldiers, wounded others, and caused significant damage to public and private property”, the Syrian military said in a statement.
“The occupation of parts of Syrian territory by US forces cannot continue,” it added, affirming the army’s “determination to liberate all Syrian territory from terrorism and occupation.”

“What (US)committed has served to fuel conflict in the Middle East in a very dangerous way,” Damascus’ foreign ministry said in a statement.
