US military bases in Syria, Iraq targeted by explosive-laden drones
Three military facilities occupied by US forces in Syria’s eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr and across Iraq have come under separate attacks by explosive-laden drones, the latest in a series of strikes on American forces in the two neighboring countries.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, in a statement published on its Telegram channel claimed responsibility for the early Friday morning attack on US forces based at the al-Omar oil field in Dayr al-Zawr province.
There were no immediate reports about the extent of damage at the military facility, or possible casualties.
It noted that the base was targeted by a drone, linking the assault to the US support for Israel’s bloody military campaign against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The brutal war, which the Tel Aviv regime has been waging against the besieged Palestinian enclave since October 7, has so far claimed the lives of at least 14,532 people, including 6,000 children and 4,000 women.
The regime launched the war after Gaza’s resistance groups conducted Operation al-Aqsa Storm, their biggest operation against the occupying entity in years in response to increased Israeli violence against Palestinians.
