Syria’s parliament repeated calls on Oct. 6 for the immediate departure of all Turkish and U.S. troops from Syrian territory in the wake of a drone strike in the city of Homs that left scores dead.

“This attack was a heinous crime carried out by terrorists,” the parliament said in a statement on Oct. 6. Syria blames the United States, Turkey, and Israel for supporting the attack.
