Media reported shelling of US military base in Syria

A US military base near the Koniko gas field in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor was subjected to rocket fire. This was reported by Al Mayadeen TV channel on November 21.

According to the channel, one missile fell on the site of support and supply of the military facility. There is no information about the damage and casualties.

Earlier, on November 11, a U.S. military base near the Al-Omar oil field in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor in Syria came under rocket fire. Five missiles were reportedly fired at the facility.

Attacks on U.S. bases in the Middle East have become more frequent amid the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, in which the U.S. supported Israel.

The situation in the Middle East escalated on the morning of October 7, 2023, when the Palestinian radical movement Hamas subjected the territory of Israel to a massive rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. On the same day, Israel began retaliatory strikes.
