“Five members from SDF special forces were killed and around 20 wounded by a drone attack after midnight on Al-Omar oil field,” the largest US-led coalition base in Syria, said Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a loose alliance of pro-Iran fighters opposed to US support for Israel in Gaza, claimed a drone attack yesterday “against the US occupation base in the Al-Omar oil field”.
The Observatory’s Abdel Rahman said the attack hit an SDF section inside the base, in “the first attack by pro-Iran groups against American bases after the US strikes on Syria and Iraq” late last week.

On January 28, a drone slammed into a base in Jordan, killing three US soldiers and wounding more than 40, an attack Washington blamed on Iran-backed forces.
The US responded Friday with a series of unilateral strikes on Iran-linked targets in Syria and Iraq, and has said it would press on with its retaliation.
The Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria, had said at least 29 pro-Iran fighters were killed in the US strikes in Syria.
