Helicopters could be seen hovering over the site of an airstrike by U.S. forces in Syria. U.S. forces attacked an air base believed to belong to Russian forces aiding the Syrian government. The strike was the first military action by President Trump in Syria.
The United States launched the strikes after the chemical air attack on a rebel-held region of Syria. Many have criticized the attack, citing the innocent people who were harmed and the egregiousness of a chemical attack.
