As many as three locations in Syria where US troops are illegally deployed have been targeted by the “Islamic Resistance” of Iraq, the group said in a statement on Monday, as quoted by local media outlets. The Pentagon claimed that US troops had intercepted at least two UAVs while taking no casualties or damage.
Citing sources on the ground, the Lebanon-based news channel Al-Mayadeen reported on Monday that “explosions could be heard” at the Al-Omar oilfield in Deir ez-Zor province. There were also reports of drone strikes on Al-Shaddadi in Hasakah province and on At-Tanf, the heavily fortified American base in the south of Syria.
A group calling itself ‘The Islamic Resistance in Iraq’ has claimed responsibility for the attacks, issuing a statement that it targeted US bases near Al-Omar and Al-Shaddadi, and achieved “direct hits” on the bases of “American occupation.” Images circulating alongside the statement, however, turned out to be from 2019.
