Syria categorically rejects conclusions of OPCW fact-finding mission about using chemical substances in Douma
“The fact-finding mission of the OPCW issued its report about an alleged incident of using toxic chemical substances in Douma on April 7th, 2018… in fact, what attracts attention now is that the authors of the report ignored the statements of witnesses who lived with that incident and described the allegations of using chemical weapons in Douma as a play performed by armed terrorist organizations,” An official spokesman at Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said on Thursday.
He added that the US, France and Britain, due to the failure of their policies in Syria that aimed to undermine its security, stability and territorial integrity, have worked to move their terrorist tools in Syria, mainly, the so-called “the white Helmets” to fabricate allegations of using chemical weapons in Syria.
“Later, they obstructed efforts to conduct investigations by the mission in Douma through launching a direct military aggression on Syria on April 14th, 2018 that destroyed scientific centers which include laboratories for peaceful purposes,” the official spokesman stressed.

Since the occupation of the Syrian Arab Golan, the Israeli occupation authorities have systematically looted its natural and agricultural resources through hundreds of arbitrary and aggressive schemes and practices against people, land and history of the occupied Syrian Golan.
Today, the people of occupied Syrian Golan renew their utter rejection of the new settlement plan through the wind turbines project that the occupation intends to implement on the citizens’ properties and confiscating their lands by force on the pretexts of property documents.
They confirmed their commitment to their land which they inherited from their fathers and grandfathers thousands of years ago and registered in the Syrian real estate records and they will not give up.

US Air Force May Have Employed Stealthy Avenger Drones In Syria: Report
The latest iterations of the Avenger, which are substantially larger than the original prototype, have a cruising speed of around 400 miles per hour, more than twice that of a Reaper, and a maximum flight time of around 20 hours, depending on what payloads it is carrying. In 2016, General Atomics also flew a new variant of the drone, called the Avenger Extended Range (ER), for the first time. The Avenger ER has since demonstrated an ability to remain aloft for longer than 20 hours.
They also have the ability to carry weapons, including laser-guided bombs, in their internal payload bays, as well as additional stores on up to six underwing pylons. The Avenger can accommodate various sensor turrets with electro-optical, infrared, and multi-spectral cameras, as well as laser designators, on a retractable mount. This allows the drone to operate in maximum stealth mode until it reaches the target area.
