Hundreds of Syrians took to the streets yesterday singing and dancing calling for what they call the failure of the West to divide unity. Hours earlier the US air strike hit three locations in Syria in response to alleged chemical weapons attacks in Douma City.

Demonstrations in support of President Basyar al-Assad were broadcast live on state television. In the national television broadcast also reported the Syrian military managed to paralyze a number of missiles launched by the US, Britain and France. State media also called on the Syrian people to distrust a number of reports that overestimate the US air strike.

"We are not afraid of US missiles, we humiliate their missiles," said Mahmud Ibrahim, who waved Syrian flags from his car window.

The protest was colored by the horny noise of the vehicle honking as the crowd marched toward Damascus University. At that location pro-government troops also danced and brandished automatic rifles. While criticizing President Donald Trump and praising Assad they also raised the flag of Syria's allies Iran and Russia.

The rally is in line with reports that the Syrian military has now declared Douma City in the eastern Ghouta region free from rebels. This incident is a record of Assad's great victory since his forces regained the city of Aleppo in 2016.

"The Trump attack failed," said state official Muhammad Hammad, 51. "Trump's failure coincides with the victory of our troops in Douma."

The Associated Press news agency said there was a loud bang and visible trajectory of smoke in the sky of Damascus when Syria's missile defense slid for crippling US missiles. The sky of Damascus was orange when the missiles were launched to the sound of the dawn call to prayer.
