Syrian and Arab celebrities have taken sides between supporting Syrian President Bashar al Assad or his opposition since the civil war kicked off in the unstable Arab country four years ago.

But one actress, who has always been one hundred percent behind her country's leader is Amal Arafa.

The patriotic starlet has long voiced her hatred for the Syrian opposition; but in an all new statement, Amal attacked Syrian rebel commander Zahran Alloush, who launched rocket attacks that hit the government-controlled center of the capital, Damascus, killing ten people in the process.

An enraged Amal responded to the destructive incident with, "God willing, this day won't end until I hear that you've died Alloush," reported Al Jaras magazine.

According to The Globe and Mail, a message on Thursday on a Twitter account thought to belong to Alloush said, "Thursday’s rocket attack was revenge for what the Syrian military had done to Eastern Ghouta. Alloush described Damascus as a 'military zone' and said his group would respond to any air force strikes."

In response to Amal's comments, fellow Syrian actress Laila Al Atrash said, "Amen, Amal. Enough death, enough."

The United Nations says 200,000 people have been killed since 2011 in Syria’s civil war, which started with peaceful protests against President Bashar al-Assad.
