US forces launched air strikes in eastern Syria targeting areas used by Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard-backed militias. The army gave this information in the early hours of Wednesday. Syrian state media and Iran did not immediately confirm the attacks targeting Deir ez-Zor. According to the US Army Central Command, the attacks were targeted, aimed at minimizing the risk and loss of life and property. However, the US military did not identify the areas targeted and did not provide any information about the loss of life and property from the attacks.
The US military said that these airstrikes were carried out on the orders of President Joe Biden. Central Command spokesman Colonel Joe Buccino said in a statement that today's strikes were necessary to protect American personnel. Colonel Buccino said the attack was in response to an attack on August 15 targeting American forces.
Significantly, in the August 15 attack, a drone allegedly sent by Iran-backed militias targeted the al-Tanf military base used by US forces. Deir ez-Zor is a strategically important province, bordering Iraq. There are many sources of oil here.
15 killed in rocket attack in northern Syria market
In northern Syria, a rocket attack on a crowded market in a city held by Turkish-backed rebel fighters killed 15 people and injured several others. The war monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and paramedical group gave this information. The attack was carried out on Friday in the city of al-Bab, after an airstrike by Turkish fighters killed at least 11 Syrian soldiers and US-backed Kurdish fighters.
The war watchdog group blamed Syrian government forces for Friday's bombing, saying it appeared to be retaliation for a Turkish airstrike. He said that three children were also included in the 15 dead and more than 30 people were injured. The head of the observatory, Rami Abdurrahman, cited the ceasefire in March 2020 as the worst massacre by government forces since fighting between the government and the opposition stopped.
