Israel's air war against Syria is nothing new, but more rare these days are US air raids on Syria. This week has already seen at least two separate actions by CENTCOM forces which are supporting Kurds in the Deir Ezzor region:
US Central Command announced that its forces launched strikes in Syria for a second day on Tuesday against “Iranian-aligned” targets, referring to Shia militias that operate in the country.
CENTCOM said in a press release that its forces “conducted strikes against an Iranian-backed militia group’s weapons storage and logistics headquarters facility.” It said the strikes came after a “rocket attack on US personnel at Patrol Base Shaddadi,” referring to a US occupation base in eastern Syria.
One war monitor said that at least five members of the Iran-aligned militia were killed in the US airstrikes. These locations which come under US attack often include Syrian national militias, or even Syrian Army personnel.
