Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Baghdad reported on Saturday that US forces were targeted at the al-Malikiyah US occupation bases and the Conoco field in northeastern Syria. The correspondent also noted that US forces were targeted at the al-Omar oil field base in the countryside of Deir Ezzor.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced earlier that it conducted 11 operations against US occupation bases in Iraq and Syria in a single day. The group utilized dozens of missiles and drones in these operations.
On the other hand, earlier this month, the US Department of Defense stated that the rate of attacks against the US military in Iraq and Syria has increased by 45% since the end of November up until the beginning of December.
This comes shortly after sources told Al Mayadeen that Resistance factions targeted four US occupation bases in Syria in the past hours on December 9.
The sources mentioned that the attack included the al-Omar and Conoco bases in the countryside of Deir Ezzor, in addition to the Kharab al-Jir and al-Shadadi bases in the countryside of al-Hasakah.
Furthermore, the sources highlighted that this marks the first time that this number of bases has been targeted in such a short period.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Baghdad also reported that the Islamic Resistance targeted US forces at Erbil Airport with several suicide drones.
