The majority of Germans in the US, British and French military operations against targets in Syria are opposed, according to a poll by SPIEGEL ONLINE and the Civey Institute.

59,9% reject the actions of the three countries, while only 30,8% of respondents agree. 9,3% do not express an opinion.

The poll was conducted with the participation of 4959 people after the attack.

A similar survey by SPIEGEL ONLINE and Civey after the attack on Syrian targets in 2017 had shown that 42,5% agreed with the then US company and 43,5% were against.

The biggest opposition to the operation is expressed by the supporters of the Left Party and the AfD.

69,6% of those who claim to be close to the Left Party reject the attack.

For AfD voters, the percentage is even higher: 76,3% believe that the US, British and French military intervention was not right.

Christian Democrat voters are divided: 43,3% of respondents consider the operation right while 46,2% are against.
