Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Monitoring: The Arabic service of Russia’s Sputnik news agency, citing local sources speaking on condition of anonymity, reported that loud explosions were heard in Green Village, situated in the energy-rich Dayr al-Zawr province near the Iraq border, on Monday.
Several projectiles slammed into an installation run by American occupation forces at al-Omar oil field, the sources said, adding that plumes of black smoke rose high up in the air after the rocket attack.
They noted that missile defense systems stationed at the US-occupied military base sought to confront the assault but to no avail.
There were no immediate reports about possible casualties or the extent of damage at the facility.
Earlier, rockets fell near a US military base controlling al-Jabsa oil fields in al-Shaddadi town, situated about 50 kilometers (31 miles) south of Syria’s northeastern city of Hasakah.
“One of the two rockets fell in the vicinity of the field and the other near a mosque in the area adjacent to the US base, in the town of al-Shaddadi,” a local source said.
The US military scrambled helicopters in response to the attack, which came a day after a drone attack that killed three US troops and injured at least 25 others at another US base in Jordan, near the border with Syria.
US occupation forces attacked 165 times in Iraq, Syria since Oct. 17
Meanwhile, a US military official told Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network on Monday that American forces stationed at military facilities in Iraq and Syria had come under attacks at least 165 times since October 17.
This comes amid rising anti-American sentiments across the region over Washington’s unconditional support for Israel’s onslaught on the Gaza Strip.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, has claimed responsibility for most of the retaliatory strikes on US military bases in Iraq and Syria.
The United States, Israel’s biggest ally, has provided the occupying regime with a raft of arms and ammunition since the initiation of the Gaza war.
Washington has also vetoed UN Security Council resolutions that called on the regime to cease its aggression.
Israel waged the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Strip-based Palestinian resistance groups of Hamas and Islamic Jihad carried out the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm into the occupied territories in response to the occupying regime’s intensified crimes against the Palestinian people.
According to the Gaza-based health ministry, at least 26,637 Palestinians have been killed in the strikes, most of them women and children, and another 65,387 individuals injured.
Tel Aviv has also imposed a “complete siege” on Gaza, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there./Press tv
