This is a curious raid. Clearly it is politically problematic and that suggests it would not have been made except for "high value" targets. Yet the news stories do not suggest that -- perhaps there is more than meets the eye?
Anyway, here is the Al Jezeera story:
Syria condemns deadly 'US raid'
US troops have on occasion crossed areas of Syria's 600km border in pursuit of fighters
Syria has condemned an alleged US raid that killed at least eight people in the country's east, close to the border with Iraq, calling it an act of "serious aggression".
Damascus was considering its response to the attack, a spokesperson for the Syrian information ministry told Al Jazeera on Monday.
"No doubt there will be a reaction [from Syria] of some kind," Reem Haddad told Al Jazeera.
