Rocket strike targeted a US military installation in eastern Syria
A military base utilized by U.S. forces in eastern Syria has reportedly come under heavy rocket fire, according to local sources.
On Tuesday, Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television reported that a volley of six rockets was launched targeting the United States military installation at the Conoco gas field in Deir Ezzor, situated in eastern Syria.
According to a source in the field who spoke to al-Mayadeen, four out of six rockets successfully struck their intended targets within the military installation at the Conoco gas facility, located in the rural area of Deir Ezzor.
According to a source, there have been reports of significant explosions occurring within the confines of a United States military base.
According to a reliable source, the rockets were aimed at the radar station located within the Conoco gas field base.
In a recent development, al-Mayadeen has reported that United States forces carried out airstrikes targeting seven villages located east of the Euphrates River. These areas are currently under the jurisdiction of the Syrian government.
The villages of Hatla, Marat, Khasham, along with the peripheral areas of Huwaijat Saker and Huwaijat al-Muray’iya in the Deir Ezzor countryside, were the focal points of a recent targeting operation.
Iraqi resistance forces have carried out numerous attacks on U.S.-operated military bases in Iraq and Syria. This surge in hostilities comes amid escalating anti-U.S. sentiments in the region, fueled by Washington’s support for what is perceived as Israel’s continued military actions in Gaza.
Approximately 2,500 American troops remain stationed in Iraq, alongside around 900 in Syria, as part of a contingent that Washington asserts is dedicated to combating the Islamic State group, also known as Daesh.
The United States continues to sustain its presence in the two nations, despite the defeat of the Takfiri terrorist group by Arab countries and their allies in late 2017.
A recent attack on Sunday followed an airborne operation by US forces in the village of Shanina, located in Syria’s northern Raqqah Province. The operation resulted in the deaths of four Syrian ranchers and left a woman injured.
The United States frequently carries out airstrikes in Syria, citing efforts to combat terrorism as the primary justification.
The Syrian government has submitted multiple letters to the United Nations, urging the international organization to halt the ongoing US aerial attacks and its military presence within Syria.
