The largest American command post in Syria has reportedly come under rocket fire in the eastern part of the Arab country.
The outpost, which is located in the al-Omar Oilfield in the village of al-Khazra in Syria’s Dayr al-Zawr Province, was targeted with five rockets on Sunday, field sources told Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television network on Monday.
The strike triggered several back-to-back explosions at the base, they added.
An al-Mayadeen correspondent, meanwhile, reported that sirens had gone off at the American occupation base in the Conoco Gasfield in the countryside of Dayr al-Zawr’s capital of the same name.
The development was followed by extensive overflight of the base by American warplanes, the network added.
No individual or group has yet claimed responsibility for neither development.
Iraqi resistance group have, however, struck American targets across both their country and neighboring Syria on numerous occasions in protest at the United States occupation of various areas across the countries.
Most recently, resistance factions launched a drone attack on al-Omar on October 28, a day after striking a US occupation base in the al-Tanf area on the common border separating Syria, Jordan, and Iraq.
The resistance has also been conducting the strikes as a means of protesting the US’s ongoing full-on political and military support for the Israeli regime’s genocidal war against the Gaza Strip and escalated deadly aggression towards Lebanon.
Using extensive American support, the regime has also been conducting savage attacks against Syria, including one on Sunday, which claimed the lives of nine people and wounded 20 others near the Syrian capital Damascus.
