The first videos of the U.S. military strike on Syria are now available, showing significant hits on the country’s military establishment.
The video clips show U.S. military aircraft taking off from airbases, Syrian air defense missiles being shot at Tomahawks, and explosions in and around the Syrian capital of Damascus.
Friday evening, President Donald Trump ordered airstrikes on Syria in retaliation for their chemical attack that killed more than 40 civilians.
Britain and France also took part in the airstrikes.
Here are tweets from the front lines of the airstrikes.
