A US Army base comes under fire in northeastern Syria

Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip and their demonstrative support by the United States have led to a new surge of anti-American actions in the Middle East. Arab media reported shelling of the US military base Al-Shaddadi in northeastern Syria.


According to the source, the base could have been fired upon by paramilitary forces operating on Syrian territory and in neighboring Iraq. This is not the first such incident with American military facilities in the Middle East in recent times. Yesterday, the American military base of Kharab Al-Jir in northeastern Syria was fired at from a rocket launcher by fighters of the Shiite Islamic Resistance group. Later, information appeared that the Al-Shaddadi base was fired upon by the same Islamic Resistance group.

In the week from October 17 to October 24 alone, American military targets were attacked 10 times in Iraq and 3 times in Syria. The attackers used missiles and attack drones to carry out attacks against US military bases. The Pentagon claims that radical groups associated with Iran are behind all the attacks.


The presence of American troops in the Middle East is an additional irritating factor for the local population. Israel's brutal actions in the Gaza Strip have contributed to a general rise in anti-American sentiment in the Arab and Muslim world, as the administration of US President Joe Biden has taken an overly pro-Israel stance. Even the traditional military-political partners of the United States in the East, represented by Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt or Turkey, began to increasingly and sharply criticize not only Israel’s actions, but also their support by Western countries.

    Are the results of the shelling known?

        Everyone is completely at risk, then the Americans will send reinforcements.
        But a harassing fire with several wounded, if repeated periodically, will become a big headache for the Americans. At a minimum, the population will begin to ask uncomfortable questions about what America is doing in these countries, why it invaded without an invitation, and why the military is dying. It will be sad if the US military realizes that Biden is giving their lives in exchange for barrels of oil.

        And the recent cries of Israelis at the UN make us think.
        Guterres just announced what was beneficial to the United States. Most likely, the United States wants to improve relations and business with Saudi Arabia, so it has met Palestine halfway and is trying to persuade the Jews. Another multi-move combination from which Americans want to profit.

          I think the United States will have to withdraw all its bases from the Middle East. By one's own will or by force. These "attacks were only a hint and a demonstration of intentions.

    Well done Arabs, I just don’t understand why we don’t do this too, since the Americans are carrying out terrorist attacks in our country.

    The self-propelled grandfather is stuck on punch cards. The State Department in the faces of Sullivan and the asshole Blinkin are in prostration.

    And after all these attacks, was at least one American injured?

      Indeed, it’s disgusting to even read: shelling, shelling, shelling, shelling... Where are the corpses?

      The stripes themselves admit 24 wounded. And who knows, maybe a bus with military personnel in the states fell into the river from a bridge, there are dead.

    No matter how it was self-attack, to justify their further actions, there is only one school.... According to a carbon copy...

    It’s not strange when an American base is located on Syrian territory without the permission of the leadership of the Syrian Arab Republic. And if “they are not there” (American bases), there should also be no news about shelling of some “there” bases. And it’s as if there are no American bases “there”, but some American bases “there” have been fired upon what request

    Syria did not consent to the deployment of a US military base on its territory.

    And where are the adherents of the red and brown lines with cries of “how long can you wipe yourself off? How long? Disperse the State Department! Biden is a corrupt bastard!” Where is it all?

    The fog of war or war of fogs is gaining momentum. Quite possible,
    that Arab journalists, lured by mattresses, are whipping up
    hysteria so that the Yankees have a reason to rearm
    their bases in the East and drive even more into Israel for
    protecting your interests.

    And in English there is a very good saying: “what goes around comes around”, like our “don’t spit in the well”.

    I would like to read “destroyed” and not fired upon.
