BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:30 P.M.) – The U.S., along with their allies France and the U.K., unleashed a barrage of cruise missiles into Syria, claiming the attack was in response to the Syrian government’s alleged use of chemical weapons in the town of Douma.
The three allies fired more than 100 cruise missiles towards several different sites across the country, making this the largest US coalition attack on the Syrian government.
Among the many targets for the U.S. coalition was the scientific research center that is located in the Barzeh suburb of Damascus.
The cruise missile strike completely destroyed this site, leaving most of the facility in ruins – please see below:
