That's factually improbable and statistically false. The source of the story that four children died in the missile strike is the
Syrian state media. and therefore probably bias and incorrect. Assad has conducted multiple chemical attacks and killed thousands of innocent children.
But even if you only go by the allegation that Assad's chemical weapon strike killed 20 children and Trump's missile killed four, Assad killed a larger percentage of the total number of children in Syria than Trump's did. On that basis, a child in Syria has a bigger chance of being killed by one of Assad's chemical attacks than a Trump's missiles.
