According to residents near the site, alarms were triggered at the base and the Pentagon military’s artillery fired several shells at the Al-Mereyieh district, the alleged origin of the rockets.

This is the third attack in less than a week against this facility occupied by U.S. troops and their local proxies of the Syrian Democratic Forces militia.

Washington maintains some 15 bases on Syrian territory, without consent from the Damascus government or the approval of the United Nations.

These military enclaves have been attacked with missiles and drones more than 150 times since the start of the Israeli war against the Gaza Strip, in October 2023.

Claim of responsibility has come from the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an ally of the Syrian army in the fight against terrorism, which claims its attacks respond to Washington’s support and complicity in the genocide committed by Israel.

Syria has repeatedly denounced these bases, which it described as occupation, and denounced that US actions in the national territory encourage terrorist activity and aim at destabilizing the country and plundering its wealth.
