Syrian Gen: Damascus to Respond to US-Led Strikes by Attacking Aggressors’ Bases in Syria

“The response to the tripartite strikes against Syria will be given by attacks against the aggressors’ bases in Syria, using ground-to-ground missiles and with the help of popular resistance,” General Mohammed Issa was quoted by the Arabic service of Russia’s Sputnik news agency as saying on Saturday.

He added that the Syrian army will again deploy missile defense systems in all points in Syria, turning the country into a land completely covered by anti-air defense shields.

General Issa also voiced pleasure that most of the missiles fired during the Saturday US-led missile strikes were intercepted by the Syrian army.
