Syrian activist: We are very disappointed with weak strikes

Fadel Abdul Ghany, chairman of the Syrian Network for Human Rights, told MEE, he is "very disappointed" with the limited nature of the overnight air strikes on Syrian government targets.

The military strikes mustn’t stop until the regime and its allies accept a political course -  other than that, there will be no solution to the Syrian crisis

"It seems that this strike is similar to Shayrat [attack] a year ago, as it stopped immediately, and not as part of a strategic Western alliance outside the security council to end the Syrian regime ability to kill the Syrian people with chemical weapons, warplanes, and barrel bombs, by destroying its air-bases, and all the killing machines," he said.

"The military strikes mustn't stop until the regime and its allies accept a political course -  other than that, there will be no solution to the Syrian crisis.

"We expected that this military strike will be used to achieve political progress, and that will not happen with a weak strike. We are very disappointed."
