Syria Terms Western Attack “Illegal and Doomed to Fail”

Web Desk(April 14, 2018): Syrian state media on Saturday terms Western strikes as illegal and “doomed to fail,” after the US, France, and Britain launched a joint operation against the Damascus government.

“The aggression is a flagrant violation of international law, a breach of the international community´s will, and it is doomed to fail,” said state news agency SANA.SANA reported that the joint operation was targeting military installations around Damascus and near the central city of Homs.

It said three civilians were wounded in the Homs attacks but did not give a toll for Damascus or mention any combatant casualties.

Western powers blamed President Bashar al-Assad, but Syria and its ally Russia categorically denied the claims and accused the West of “fabricating” the incident to justify military action.The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons was set to begin its investigation inside the Eastern Ghouta town of Douma on Saturday, just hours after the strikes.

Syrian state media accused Western powers of trying to hinder the investigation with their attack.
