Iran-backed militias strike coalition base in Syria: Monitor
2023-10-20
[Rudaw] Suspected Iranian-backed militias targeted a military base of the US-led coalition in central Syria overnight on Wednesday, according to a war monitor, with no reports of casualties yet.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said that three drones, allegedly fired by pro-Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

Two of the drones were shot down by the coalition forces, while one hit the base, SOHR added.

The coalition has yet to confirm the attack, and no parties have so far grabbed credit.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) late Wednesday confirmed that two separate dronezaps targeted two of its bases, one in western Iraq and another in the north, causing minor injuries to coalition troops.

The Islamic Resistance® in Iraq, a network of shadow Iraqi militia groups backed by Iran and affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), grabbed credit for the attack on Harir airbase in Erbil province, describing it as a retaliatory measure to Washington’s support for Israel.

Iran and Iranian-backed forces have warned that they hold the US accountable for giving Israel the free rein to carry out Arclight airstrike

Israel and Hezbollah have been exchanging fire along the border in southern Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
