The source further reported that these strikes resulted in the loss of three members of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces and the destruction of five tankers present at the targeted site. Additionally, a refrigerated truck destined for Syrian territory was also incinerated.
In retaliation for these actions, a missile strike was carried out against the US base located in the al-Omar oil field in Deir ez-Zor. According to Athr Press sources, the missile attack resulted in direct hits on the base.
This latest incident follows closely on the heels of a previous US operation on October 27th, which targeted locations in the Mayadeen desert without any reported casualties. This operation also prompted a response with an attack on the American base in the Omar oil field.
In southern Syria, the Israeli military conducted an early morning airstrike on Monday, targeting positions of the Syrian army in the Daraa countryside.
