The Arab League passed a resolution urging the UN and the international community to "take the deterrent and necessary measures against the culprits ... that the Syrian regime bears responsibility for." Saudi Arabia's foreign minister said his country would back a US strike if the Syrian people did. A rights group said that 110,371 people have been killed so far in the Syrian conflict, including 3,730 mostly non-Syrian rebel fighters, and 171 Hezbollah fighters. President Assad claimed that Syria "is capable of confronting any external aggression."
