News - Middle East: Two US bases belonging to the American occupation forces in Syria have reportedly come under attack in the country’s northeastern province of Hasakah.

Lebanon's al-Mayadeen television network cited unidentified sources as saying on Sunday that the US base at Kharab al-Jir Airport and the al-Malikiyah base in the northern countryside of Hasakah had been “targeted with several rocket shells.”

The sources provided no further information about the attack and the extent of losses.

No groups or individuals have thus far claimed responsibility for the attacks on the two American military bases.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition involving a number of anti-US groups, has recently targeted several American military bases in Iraq and Syria over Washington’s unflinching support for Israel’s brutal aggression against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal war has since early October claimed the lives of more than 20,000 civilians in Gaza and left over 56,000 others injured.

The latest attack by the Iraqi resistance coalition involved drone strikes against US military facilities at al-Omar oilfield and Conoco gas plant in Syria's eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr on December 13.

In a post on X social media platform days later, a correspondent for Fox News television channel announced that US forces had been “attacked for the 100th time” since October 17. 

The attacks come amid rising anti-US sentiments across the region over Washington’s support for Israel,

The incessant Israeli bombardment campaign rages on in Gaza, whose resistance groups launched the large-scale Operation al-Aqsa Storm on the occupied territories on October 7 in retaliation for the regime’s decades-long atrocities against Palestinians in the besieged territory.

The United States, Israel’s biggest ally, has provided the illegal entity with arms and ammunition since the beginning of the Gaza war.

On November 2, the US House of Representatives passed a $14.3-billion military assistance package for Israel. The legislation, however, is yet to clear the Senate.

Washington has also vetoed United Nations Security Council resolutions that called on the occupying regime to stop its barbaric onslaught on the besieged Gaza Strip.
