Reports indicate that the US military base in al-Shaddadi, located in Syria’s southern al-Hasakah region, was struck by missiles early Tuesday. Witnesses described hearing multiple explosions from within the base, which is considered an illegal facility by local authorities.
At the time of reporting, there were no confirmed details regarding casualties or the extent of the damage caused by the attack.
No organization has claimed responsibility for the assault, but the incident follows a pattern of escalating tensions in the region. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has previously launched attacks against US and Israeli positions, citing retaliation for the United States’ backing of Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza.
The violence in Gaza was ignited by Israel’s intensified military response to the Palestinian Resistance’s surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm on October 7. The conflict has led to significant destruction, with Gaza’s hospitals, residential areas, and places of worship bearing the brunt of the attacks.
Further updates on the situation in al-Shaddadi are expected as investigations continue.
