File US French and British missiles destroyed sites suspected of hosting chemical weapons development and storage facilities
The UK participated in the strikes in response to an alleged chemical attack by the Syrian regime on the rebel-held area of Douma on 7 April. Assad's chemical weapons capacity may have suffered a setback, but Lt.
The attack April 7 that triggered the US -led retaliatory strikes forced the surrender of a rebel group holed up in a suburb of Damascus.
Assad's military, which is backed by Iran and Russian Federation, has difficulty defeating rebel groups when they are in well-defended positions in densely packed cities or neighborhoods.
British Prime Minister Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron faced anger Monday from their lawmakers for conducting the air strikes with the United States. Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the director of the Joint Staff at the Pentagon, also says there also is no indication that Russian air defense systems were employed early Saturday in Syria.
"It's effective in compelling surrender", said Jennifer Cafarella, an analyst at the Institute for the Study of War.
The US, the United Kingdom and France launched a series of attacks on specific targets in the war-torn country and CNN reported that the coalition forces claimed that they were targeting a research laboratory and two storage facilities which were believed to be the country's chemical weapons programme sites.
Addressing reporters during a press conference in Beijing on Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said any military action that bypasses the UN Security Council is in breach of worldwide law, and only complicates the Syrian conflict.
"The team has not yet deployed to Douma", Uzumcu told an executive council meeting of the OPCW in The Hague.
To address the longer-term chemical weapons issue, together with the president's desire to withdraw, will take more than sanctions and tough talk on cable news.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday warned that if the strikes continue, "it will inevitably entail chaos in worldwide relations".
"In the last two days, we have heard a group of jets flying over us in the area surrounding the Homs countryside", said Barakat, who lives near Khan Sheikhoun, where a previous chemical attack took place in 2017. The team arrived in Syria on Saturday. The supporting actors understood they had no choice but to watch the US finesse its way out of a sticky situation.

Russian bear stunt condemned by animal welfare group PETA
TV footage from the game showed the animal being led to the Mashuk-KMV Pyatigorsk club's stadium, clapping at spectators. The bear is Russia's national symbol and has just this week been incorporated into the country's premier league logo.
Toyota promotes talking vehicle technology
The automaker reports it and its Lexus brand became the first to launch and sell vehicles with the DSRC technology. The system being tested by Toyota does not require a cellular or data network to work.
But they have made none of that evidence public, even after they, along with Britain, bombarded sites they said were linked to Syria's chemical weapons program.
The United States similarly must grapple with protecting its gains against the Islamic State without the presence of US troops on the ground.
Syria's armed forces could resume using small amounts of chemicals that could be delivered by grenades.
But White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders eventually had to own up to a slightly misleading caption on her Saturday tweet: "Last night the President put our adversaries on notice: when he draws a red line he enforces it".
The reports did not say who carried out the pre-dawn strikes, which were reported by Syrian state TV and the government-run Syrian Central Media.
The delays prompted a bout of complaints from the USA and U.K, which both called on Syria and Russian Federation to allow the inspectors unfettered access.
People could be heard shouting "Allah, Syria, and only Bashar", a reference to Syrian leader Bashar Assad.
"Assad likely concluded that the cost of American airstrikes was lower than what he would have paid in Douma", Cafarella said.
The West got involved in Syria's civil war as the then powerful Islamic State (IS) movement posed a great danger to the West, expanding rapidly across Syria and neighboring Iraq.
Opposition sources say Dumair airport is a major air base used in a large-scale military campaign waged by the Syrian army with Russian firepower that regained eastern Ghouta, a rebel enclave on the outskirts of Damascus.
"Assad is deliberately creating a psychological effect", she said.
