A rocket attack targeted the United States' al-Omar oil field base in the eastern part of the Deir Ezzor governate, in northeastern Syria, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on Monday morning.

Citing a field source, our correspondent said that the attack came as a direct response to an American strike that targeted a truck passing through the al-Qaem - al-Bukamal border crossing between Iraq and Syria.

In detail, the source said that 30 rockets were launched in the attacks, and resulted in direct hits to the US occupation base located to the east of the Euphrates River, near one of Syria's largest oilfields.

Importantly, the field source told Al Mayadeen's correspondent that the attack on Sunday dawn came from within the Syrian territories.

The attack comes in a broader context of action taken by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq to eliminate American military presence from the region, specifically in Iraq and Syria, where the US holds multiple airbases. 

These airbases have reportedly been used to violate the sovereignty of both countries. In the Syrian Arab Republic, the US military is officially considered an occupying force, while the government in Iraq is working on ending a previously agreed mandate with the US.

US coalition forces have violated Iraqi sovereignty and have even attacked the Iraqi Armed Forces and governmental institutions. The latest such incident came when the US killed a Popular Mobilization Force (PMF) official, martyr Hajj Moshtaq Taleb al-Saidi (Abou Taqwa).

On the other side, the Iraqi Resistance has escalated action against US forces in the region, in response to "unwavering" American support to "Israel", which has awarded the occupation an effective political and military cover to conduct its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

Islamic Resistance targets Israeli sites

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has also targeted Israeli sites in occupied Palestine, in a show of support for the Palestinian people and their Resistance. Long-range attacks utilizing missiles and attack drones have targeted the occupied Golan Heights, the southern occupation city of "Eilat", and most recently a vital target in the occupied coastal city of Haifa. The Resistance deployed an improved long-range cruise missile to target the Israeli site.

Commenting on this operation, the spokesperson for the al-Nujabaa Movement, Hussein al-Mousawi, said that the attack does not come within a momentary framework, "but rather a comprehensive system to confront what the Israeli entity and the United States are doing (in Gaza)." He pointed out that "the Iraqi Resistance [continues to] find suitable conditions for developing its weapons."
