Four missiles fired from Iraq at US military base in Syria
Resistance forces have fired four missiles from Iraq targeting the US military base in the Washington-controlled Conoco gas field in eastern Syria.
Lebanese television channel Al Mayadeen said US warplanes were flying intensely in the skies of Deir ez-Zor countryside following the attack on Tuesday evening.
Local sources reported that US soldiers shelled towns in Deir ez-Zor following the resistance operation.
Two US officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, claimed that the projectiles did not hit the base and there were no injuries, according to Reuters.
Meanwhile, a Pentagon official said that 8 American soldiers were wounded in the resistance operation against Kharab Al-Jir base in a drone attack on their base in Syria on Friday.
None of the injuries were serious but some personnel were also being examined for “traumatic brain injuries,” the unnamed official was quoted as saying by Reuters on Saturday.
Al-Mayadeen reported on Saturday that US occupation forces in Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah had come under a drone attack from nearby areas.
The report said several explosions were heard inside the US-controlled Kharab al-Jir Air Base after an explosive-laden unmanned aerial vehicle struck the site.
In another attack on Monday, a rocket strike wounded five US personnel at Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq’s western province of Anbar.
The Iraqi resistance forces have conducted dozens of strikes on the US-run military installations in both Iraq and Syria amid growing anti-US sentiments in the region over Washington’s support for Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza, which has so far killed nearly 40,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
There are nearly 2,500 American troops in Iraq and some 900 in Syria as part of, what Washington claims to be, a fighting force against Daesh.
The US has maintained its presence, although, the Arab countries and their allies defeated the Takfiri terrorist group in late 2017.
