Syrian community in Egypt plus several Egyptian and Arab citizens have gathered in Cairo to express their rejection of the US blatant aggression on Syria and crimes being perpetrated by terrorist organizations against Syrian people.
They condemned the US aggression on Syria’s sovereignty and asserted their support for the Syrian army and President Bashar al-Assad in fighting terrorism, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).
The agency quoted Charge de Affairs of Syrian Consulate in Cairo Dr. Riyad Snih as saying that terrorism being practiced directly by the United States or through its tools – countries or terrorist organizations- will never weaken Syrian army’s resolve to fight terrorism.
“The United States is the main sponsor of terrorism in the Arab region,” the Palestinian intellectual Hamad Hjawi, who participated in the gathering said, affirming that Syria offers sacrifices in fighting terrorism and its supporters in order to defend Arab region and its future.
Last Friday at dawn, the US launched several missiles at one of the Syrian army’s airfields in the central region, killing 7 persons, wounding several more and causing big material damage.
Other missiles were launched by the US at several towns in the east-southern countryside of Homs where 9 civilians, including 4 children, were reportedly martyred.
