The United States Department of Defense on Saturday filmed videos and took photographs of US strikes on Syria today in response to Assad’s suspected chemical attack on Douma.

US, France and Britain launched several targeted strikes on military positions of the Syrian regime and Hezbollah in Syria early on Saturday.

One photo and video posted by the Pentagon showed the launch of a Tomahawk missile from the USS Monterey.

US President Donald Trump said the strikes would aim to deter chemical weapons use by the Syrian government, a week after a suspected chemical attack outside Damascus left more than 40 people dead.
