Military statement: A number of civilians and soldiers martyred in American aggression on Syria’s eastern region

Damascus- The American occupation forces this dawn launched a blatant air attack on a number of sites and towns in the eastern region of Syria, near the Syrian-Iraqi border, which led to the martyrdom of a number of civilians and soldiers and the injury of others, and caused significant damage to public and private property, a military statement said on Saturday.

The statement explained that the area targeted by the American airstrikes in eastern Syria is the same area where the Syrian Arab Army is fighting the remnants of the terrorist organization ISIS. This confirms the fact that the United States and its military forces are involved and allied with this terror organization, and are working to revive it as a field arm for it, both in Syria and Iraq, by all dirty means.

“The aggression of the US occupation forces at dawn today has no justification other than an attempt to weaken the ability of the Syrian Arab Army and its allies in the field of fighting terrorism, but the army that was able to defeat various terrorist organizations over the past years will continue with its steadfastness and its principle of defending Syria’s land and people and striking all organizations no matter how hard these organizations and their sponsors and supporters try to hinder achieving this goal, the statement added.

The occupation of parts of Syrian territory by American forces cannot continue, and the General Command of the Army and Armed Forces affirms that it will continue the war against terrorism until it is completely eliminated and reiterates tgat it is determined to liberate the entire Syrian territory from all kinds of terrorism and occupation.
