Hatla, Marat, Khasham, and the outskirts of Huwaijat Saker and Huwaijat al-Muray&#8217;iya in the Deir Ezzor countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s support for Israel\u2019s ongoing genocide in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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. &nbsp;The U.S. has maintained its presence in the two countries even though the Arab countries and their allies defeated the Takfiri terrorist group in late 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday\u2019s attack came shortly after the US occupation forces conducted an airborne assault on the village of Shanina in Syria\u2019s northern Raqqah Province, killing four Syrian ranchers and injuring a woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The United States regularly conducts airstrikes in Syria under the pretext of &#8220;fighting terrorism.&#8221; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A barrage of rockets has reportedly targeted a military base used by the occupying American forces in eastern Syria. &nbsp;Lebanon&rsquo;s al-Mayadeen television reported on Tuesday that six rockets were fired&hellip;
