ISIS claimed on December 26 that its cells in Syria’s northeastern region had shelled a large U.S.-led coalition base.
The terrorist group’s news agency, Amaq, said that the shelling targeted a large U.S. base in the town of al-Shaddadi in the southern al-Hasakah countryside.
“The shelling targeted helicopters landing strip, ammo depots, a fuel station and buildings used by the international coalition as housing for its soldiers and working offices,” a source in the terrorist group told Amaq.
ISIS said that the attack was carried out with nine Katyusha rockets. The terrorist group usually uses the name of the Soviet rocket to refer to variants of 107 mm rockets.
The targeted base hosts dozens of U.S. service members as well as at least eight helicopters. The base guards the al-Jibsah gas factory and the al-Shaddadi oil fields, both controlled by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

According to Amaq, the attack on the U.S. base was carried out in the framework of the ongoing military campaign to avenge the death of the terrorist group’s leader, Abu Baker al-Baghdadi, and the group’s spokesman, Abu Hassan al-Muhajir.
ISIS claims are yet to be verified by any local source. The U.S.-led coalition has not commented on these claims, either.
This is one of those rare occasions when Isis did something useful.
Not way, ISIS is made in USA-Israel-NATO.
I don’t believe this. There’s no verification from an outside source, and this is supports the probable lie from the US that Al-Bakhari was killed.
So true
This other report with a video. App no confirmatory info. https://southfront.org/in-video-isis-cells-shell-u-s-base-in-key-eastern-syria-oil-field/
I watched the video, sir, but how do we know it’s a US base and what targets were hit? It is still just the word of ISIS and I don’t trust them one bit not to lie.
I agree completely. Especially as ISIS are agents of the US.
Yes. The US gov’t are masters of deceit. (Had to read that book in 8th grade Civics class- out and out propaganda.)
If it is true then we will open heartedly support terrorists to turn their guns against USA,France,Turkey,Britain and Israel.Because ISIS is very close to USA NATO and have the secrets as well and can inflict serious havoc on them.
I’m afraid the above assertion was not just badly translated but also taken out of context. In a televised broadcast on the Emir of True Believers & Caliph the recently selected “Pope of the New Caliph” Al-Hashemi claims he was sent a vision of their former Supreme Leader, the Most Holy Spirit in the afterlife who sits next to the Prophet himself who’s name is too Holy to be spoken. Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was dressed in a cloak of Gold with 40 Blue Diamonds encrusted into its platinum seam. The Most Holy Spirit who now sits by the left hand of the Prophet who’s name is too Holy to be spoken came from the azure heavens in a Chariot of Fire and blasted the Yanki infidel to kingdom cum. The Thunder which emanated from the fiery chariot was a chant to rejoice at the power granted to our Great former Leader and could be heard through out North East Syria, Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, et cetera so forth and so on….
Man, you hit it nail on!
Does not compute. At all. It would be very good but it seems very unlikely.
