A source told Al Mayadeen on Wednesday that a missile attack targeted the US occupation base in the sl-Omar oil field east of Deir Ezzor, confirming that fire erupted inside the base.

The Pentagon reported on Tuesday that US occupation forces in Syria and Iraq had been subjected to 56 attacks since October 17. Sabrina Singh, the Deputy Press Secretary of the Pentagon, informed journalists that out of the 59 US personnel who sustained injuries, 32 were categorized with non-serious injuries, while the remaining 27 individuals suffered from traumatic brain injury (TBI).
It is noteworthy that approximately 2500 US soldiers are stationed in Iraq, and around 900 are in Syria.
The operations of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq against US occupation bases and forces in Syria and Iraq continue in conjunction with Operation Al-Aqsa Flood in support of Gaza and the Palestinian people.
A couple of days ago, the Secretary-General of Iraqi Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, Abu Alaa al-Walai, affirmed that the Resistance operations in Iraq will not stop unless Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip cease.
"There will be no truce with the US occupation in Iraq unless a genuine and binding ceasefire is established in the Gaza Strip," he stated.
He further noted that the safe withdrawal of US forces from Iraq depends on the secure and continuous arrival of humanitarian aid convoys to Gaza.
Al-Walai reaffirmed the strong commitment of Islamic resistance in Iraq to support Palestine, its people, and its resistance efforts.
