The Islamic Front for Iraqi Resistance, an alliance of Shiite militias linked to Iran, claimed responsibility for an attack carried out today against a US military base located in the north-eastern province of Al Hasakahin Syria.
“Islamic resistance fighters in Iraq have launched a missile attack on the American occupation base of Al Shaddadi, south of the Syrian city of Al Hasakah, and hit it,” the Iraqi Islamist Breakfast said in a statement. Meanwhile, a new convoy of forces from the International Coalition against the US-led Islamic State has entered north-east Syria from the Al Waleed border crossing with the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan.
According to reports from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (Sohr), a non-governmental organization based in London but present on the ground with a rather vast network of local sources, the convoy is made up of 40 trucks, fuel tanks and military equipment and it is headed right for the Al Shaddadi base.
Last Tuesday, October 31, the Pentagon spokesperson Patrick Ryder had said that US military bases in the Middle East had been attacked at least 27 times in the past two weeks, including 16 times in Iraq and 11 in Syria.
