The source, on condition of anonymity, told North Press in a phone call that the main target was not the logistic vehicle but rather a military vehicle that was near the gas station which drove away following the strike.

There were only material losses. After that, the Iranian-backed militias deployed among the residents fearful of a second attack, according to the source.

The Syrian government forces and the Iranian-backed militias control large swaths of the Syrian desert.

Recently, the most severe battles have taken place between the Islamic State Organization (ISIS) and the government forces along with Iranian-backed militias.
