Missiles hit US-run base in eastern Syria amid rage over support for Gaza genocide
A military base in Syria’s eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr, where US occupation troops and their allied militants are stationed, has come under a missile attack.
Loud explosions were heard early on Saturday as several projectiles slammed into an installation run by American occupation forces at the Conoco gas field, Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen television news channel reported.
There were no immediate reports about the extent of damage at the military facility, and possible casualties.
Sources said the blasts came at the same time that US military aircraft carried out a raid against the al-Joura district near the provincial capital city of Dayr al-Zawr.
The Arabic service of Russia’s Sputnik news agency said American military helicopters flew overhead after the missile strike, and launched a number of flares in the sky over the Conoco gas field.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has targeted a military base housing US occupation troops and their allied Takfiri militants in southeastern Syria with several armed unmanned aerial vehicles.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, has claimed responsibility for most of the retaliatory strikes on US military bases in Iraq and Syria.
The United States, Israel’s biggest ally, has provided the occupying regime with arms and ammunition since the Gaza war began.
Washington has also vetoed UN Security Council resolutions that called on the regime to cease its aggression.
