Four rockets were fired at the US base on the “Koniko” gas field in eastern Syria’s Deir ez-Zor province. A fire broke out as a result, according to a source cited by RIA Novosti.
The source stated that the rockets landed on the base territory at the “Koniko” gas field, with flames rising in the southern part of the base.
On February 14, it was reported that the American military base located at the “Omar” oil field in eastern Syria had been attacked three times within an hour. Initially, two rockets were launched at the base, followed by three more. During the third attack, over a dozen rockets hit the military base, causing a fire.
Prior to this, it was reported that the Israeli Air Force had struck the international airport in Nayrab, Syria, using guided missiles on February 12. The operation involved crews from two F-16 tactical fighters.
Previously, the authorities of Egypt and Syria had threatened Israel with war.
Context:
It is important to note that the United States has maintained a military presence in Syria to counter the influence of terrorist organizations and protect its interests in the region. However, this presence has been met with resistance and attacks from various groups, including those supported by Russia and Iran.
In recent years, tensions have escalated between Israel and Syria, with both countries carrying out airstrikes on each other’s territories. Israel has expressed concerns about the presence of Iranian-backed forces in Syria, which it sees as a threat to its national security.
While the exact motives behind the recent attacks on the US base and the Israeli airstrikes are yet to be determined, it is clear that the volatile situation in Syria continues to pose challenges for all parties involved. The ongoing conflicts and power struggles in the region make it a hotbed of instability and violence.
