| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Regnum] The US Armed Forces opened fire from artillery guns on the positions of the Syrian army allies in the province of Deir ez-Zor. A source from the scene told RIA Novosti about this. According to the publication, US artillery fired four times at positions of the Syrian army's allies in the areas of Huweija Saqr and Maryi, located on the northern outskirts of the city of Deir ez-Zor. US military helicopters are actively patrolling the area around the Koniko gas field base, which is regularly hit by missile attacks from militias. As reported by the Regnum news agency, the geography of the Middle East conflict is expanding, which is leading to the destruction of civilian infrastructure and catastrophic consequences for the region, said Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian president, on October 10. This is how he responded to a request to comment on the likely ground operation of Israel in Syria. The Israeli army previously began a "limited ground operation" in Lebanon, and, according to some reports, may begin a similar operation in Syria. Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the Middle East was on the brink of a major war and that there are forces that really want such a war. The minister also accused Israel of violating Lebanon's sovereignty by carrying out airstrikes on the country. The United States is directly involved in Israel's aggression against Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, Syrian Ambassador to Russia Bashar Jaafari said earlier. Israel, with the support of the American side, crossed all red lines, which led to an escalation of the situation in the region, the diplomat emphasized.
