Late on February 15, the United States military’s Green Village base in the eastern Syrian governorate of Deir Ezzor came under attack.
Al-Mayadeen TV and several other sources said that a salvo of rockets hit the base, which is located within al-Omar oil fields in the southern countryside of Deir Ezzor. There were no reports of casualties or material losses, however.
A few hours after the alleged attack, a series of airstrikes hit three positions of pro-government forces in eastern Syria, according to Sputnik, which didn’t provide any details.
The U.S. Central Command has not yet announced any attack on the Green Village or claimed responsibility for any airstrikes on Syria. Still, it is very likely that the airstrikes reported by Sputnik were carried out by the command’s forces in response to the attack on the base.
More than 170 attacks have targeted U.S. forces in Syria and neighboring Iraq since October 18 in response to the Israeli war on Gaza and Washington’s unwavering support for it. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iranian-backed armed factions, has claimed responsibility for most of the attacks.
The attacks slowed down after a drone strike on January 28 killed three American service members at a base known as Tower 22 in Jordan. The U.S. responded to the deadly strike with a series of strikes against Iranian-backed forces in Syria and Iraq.
According to the Pentagon, the attacks in Syria and Iraq have so far wounded 186 service members. A contractor was also killed in one of the earlier attacks.
iraqi resistance has chickened out of confrontation with american cockroaches. i bet they were threatened with civilian deaths
the us controls their oil revenues. they have to be placed in us banks and they need us authorisation to utilise. that was the peace dividend after saddam. its colonialism in the 21st century. a bit like germany which still can’t get its gold reserves returned from the us after ww2.
186 injuries but no none dead. seems a little strange.
don’t look into how many zionists were “injured” in gaza alone…. that are asking for government support now…
the us: hegemon, as the terrorist state those orange revolts destabilized for anarchyist occlusion. the template of oiel resources, is puissant, since oiel is a lubricant. however, trumpeter is a plutocrat who follows the plutocracy-system to his attorneys needing high paid ripoff monies.
