Syria says Israel has effectively declared war, after its planes bombed targets in Damascus, the second airstrikes in as many days. Syria's state media says Israeli rockets targeted a military research centre on the outskirts of the capital. Video footage and eye witness accounts suggest the attacks hit weapons dumps, triggering large explosions.
Syria says a number of people were killed and wounded amid widespread destruction. The Arab League has condemned the strikes and demanded the UN Security Council act to stop any more. The League say there has been a "dangerous violation of an Arab state's sovereignty". Article 2 of the United Nations Charter bans the use of force against the territorial integrity of any state. RT's Gayane Chichakyan in Washington and Polly Boiko in London told RT more about the reaction coming from the UK and the US.
