The Syrian military un a statement on Saturday strongly opposed the United States occupation of Syrian territory, asserting that it "cannot continue," following US retaliatory strikes for a drone attack in Jordan that claimed three American soldiers' lives.
Damascus reported casualties among civilians and soldiers, along with substantial damage to public and private property during the overnight strikes.
The United States currently maintains approximately 900 troops in Syria and 2,500 in neighboring Iraq as part of the international coalition against the Islamic State militant group.
