US airstrikes hit truckloads of construction materials on the Syrian-Iraqi border early Monday, and in retaliation a US military base in Syria’s eastern province of Deir al-Zour was attacked, media reports said. According to the Lebanese al-Mayadeen TV, seven trucks transporting construction materials were targeted by US bombings in eastern Syria, near the border with Iraq. In response, 15 rockets were fired, likely by pro-Iran fighters operating in the area, targeting a US base in the al-Omar oil field on the outskirts of Deir al-Zour, said the report. Meanwhile, there were reports of explosions at a US base in Syria’s northeastern Hasakah province on Sunday night.
