News - Middle East: A military installation used by the occupying American forces in northeastern Syria has been reportedly targeted by a barrage of rockets. 

Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television news network reported that the attack on the Kharab al-Jir base in Syria’s Hasakah Province took place on Sunday.

There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the raid, according to the report.

There were also no reports on any possible casualties or the extent of damage at the US base.

Iraqi resistance forces have conducted dozens of strikes on the US-run military facilities in both Iraq and Syria amid growing anti-US sentiments in the region over Washington’s support for Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

There are nearly 2,500 American troops in Iraq and some 900 in Syria as part of what Washington claims to be a fighting force against Daesh.

The US has maintained its presence in the two countries even though the Arab countries and their allies defeated the Takfiri terrorist group in late 2017.

Sunday’s attack came shortly after the US occupation forces conducted an airborne assault on the village of Shanina in Syria’s northern Raqqah Province, killing four Syrian ranchers and injuring a woman.

The United States regularly conducts airstrikes in Syria under the pretext of fighting terrorism.

Damascus has written numerous letters to the United Nations, calling on the world body to put an end to US aerial assaults and its military presence in the Arab country.
