DeirEzzor24 exclusive report:
US fighter jets carried out a series of strikes, targeting military and security HQs that belong to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard militia in Deir Ezzor, according to a local reporter of the DeirEzzor24 network.
According to our reporter, a strike hit a villa used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard militia in the villa area opposite the administration of Al-Furat University in the city of Deir Ezzor, resulting in its total destruction. On the other hand, another strike hit the communication tower in the Maqabir (graves) area, located on the mountain overlooking Deir Ezzor city, resulting in the death of five fighters from Iranian militias.
Our reporter added that the jets also bombed Iranian militia sites in the farm area in the city of Al-Mayadin, east of Deir Ezzor, and the headquarters of Unit 313 of the Hezbollah militia, inflicting casualties upon the militias over there. Furthermore, air strikes were carried out against the Ayyash military warehouses, which belong to the Iranian-backed militias in the town of Ayyash, west of Deir Ezzor.
Concerning Al-Bukmal area in the far east of the province, strikes hit the headquarters of the IRGC Security Office near the Sharia Mosque in the city, and another militia headquarters (the Badr Hospital headquarters) near Alhajanah Street, which was hosting a security meeting between commanders from the IRGC, headed by Hajj Askar, with the commanders of the military axes, in preparation for maneuvers in Al-Bukamal desert.
A private source had told the DeirEzzor24 network that the air strikes resulted in the serious injury of the IRGC commander Haj Askar, who has been transferred to the Iranian hospital in Al-Sukariyah village for treatment.
On the other hand, the commander of the Hezbollah militia, known as Haj Hassan, was moderately injured along with the head of the Iranian security office in Al-Bukamal, Haj Jahid. A number of members and guards who operate at the HQs were killed.
Moreover, the US also bombed a headquarters belonging to the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces militia near Al-Sakak crossing in the village of Al-Hari in Al-Bukamal countryside near the Syrian-Iraqi border.
These series of American air strikes on the positions of Iranian-backed militias in Deir Ezzor coincided with preparations by those militias to conduct military maneuvers with live ammunition in the Al-Bukamal desert near the Syrian-Iraqi border.
