DeirEzzor24 exclusive report:
The US Department of Defense announced through a written statement that US forces carried out strikes yesterday against facilities used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard militia and other Iranian militias in eastern Syria, as a response to a group of ongoing attacks against US forces in Iraq and Syria.
It confirmed that the strikes targeted a training facility and a safe house near the cities of Al-Mayadeen and Al-Bukamal, east of Deir Ezzor.
A reporter of DeirEzzor24 said that one of the strikes targeted positions of the Hezbollah militia in the “Haidariya” area, while another targeted points of the Popular Mobilization Forces militia on the Syrian-Iraqi border, and a raid against the headquarters of the Zainabiyoun militia near the Al-Bukamal Bridge, leaving dead and wounded among their ranks.
For its part, the Iranian militias targeted the coalition base in the “Conoco Gas Plant” northeast of Deir Ezzor, with shells and rockets, which led to the coalition’s alert, after midnight last night, in response to the American raids.
Our reporter also said that a number of shells and missiles fell in the vicinity of the base, and another number fell on civilian homes in the town of Al-Izbah, north of Deir Ezzor.
He added that other shells fell in the area of the ancient al-Sin hill, adjacent to the town of Marat, which is under the control of Assad’s forces, at seven o’clock on Monday morning, coming from the west of the Euphrates River and close to the points of the Russian Fifth Corps.
It is worth noting that the coalition strikes left at least 6 dead and a large number of wounded from Iranian militias in Al-Bukamal.
