[Regnum] A US military base in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor was hit by missiles, Mehr News Agency reported on January 12.

As the agency reported, a base located near the Koniko gas field was shelled.

According to journalists, the attack was carried out by Iraqi resistance groups in response to Washington's support for Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip.

As Regnum reported, on January 8, three dozen missiles were fired at the American military base in Deir ez-Zor. On the same day, in the Hasakah province in northeastern Syria, the Rumeilan military base was attacked using drones.

The Israeli military launched an operation against Hamas in Gaza on October 7 after Palestinian militants launched a massive rocket attack on Israel.

The so-called resistance forces in Iraq, Lebanon, and Iran have announced that they will oppose Israeli policies towards the Palestinians and the American presence in Syria. Since then, American military bases have been shelled many times.

Yemen's Houthis have also said they will oppose Israeli action against the Palestinians. On January 10, the Ansar Allah movement attacked an American ship in the Red Sea. The Houthis said he supported the Israelis.

On the night of January 12, the US and British air forces launched strikes on Yemeni cities, including the capital Sanaa, explaining that they were attacking exclusively Houthi positions.

Russia condemned this massive strike. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Washington and London have created a security threat for the entire world.
