Tehran, IRNA -- A new attack targeted a US military base in Syria on Wednesday as anger boils in the region over the Israeli war on Gaza and Washington's support for the Tel Aviv's regime over its relentless airstrikes that have left a huge civilian death toll in the Palestinian territory.
The latest attack hit a US military base in Conoco gas field located in Deir ez-Zur, eastern Syria, setting off explosions, Lebanon's Al Mayadeen news network reported.
There was no immediate report of possible casualties or damage.
Earlier on Wednesday, Al-Tanf and Al-Rukban military bases in southeast Syria, both belonging to the US, were struck by drone attacks as well.
No group claimed responsibility for all of those attacks. But in the past few weeks, Iraqi resistance groups have conducted attacks on US bases in Iraq and neighboring Syria in retaliation for Washington's support of the Israeli regime's war that has killed over 18,600 Palestinians since it began on October 7.
