Late on December 17, an indirect fire attack targeted the United States-led coalition Green Village base in the Syrian governorate of Deir Ezzor, according to Sputnik.
The Russian news agency said that several projectiles hit the large base, which is located within al-Omar oil fields in the southeastern countryside of Deir Ezzor. Explosions rocked the base and its vicinity. However, no casualties were reported. Several fighter jets and drone of the coalition were spotted over the Green Village after the alleged attack.
The U.S.-led coalition has not commented on Sputnik’s report, yet. Usually, the coalition confirms any attack on its bases in Syria within 24 hours.
The alleged attack came after a series of Israeli strikes that targeted a Syrian radar base in the southeastern al-Suwayda countryside on December 11 and reports of aerial attacks on the government-held towns of al-Mayadin and al-Bukamal in the southern Deir Ezzor countryside on December 15 and 16.
In November, the Green Village base came under attack on two occasions. Both attacks took place just days after Israeli strikes on Syria. The ywere unofficially blamed on armed factions affiliated with the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The recent increase in attacks on U.S. troops in Syria was explained by a recent The New York Times report, which revealed that Damascus and its allies in the so-called “Axis of Resistance” have agreed to respond to Israel’s repeated attacks by targeting coalition bases in Syria.
