The Middle East Monitor reported that a US official said Israel is behind an attack on the Iraq-Syria border that left dozens of militia fighters dead, according to CNN.
An airstrike on Sunday night targeting pro-Assad forces fighting Daesh was initially blamed on the US by Syrian state media. The strike took place in Al-Hari military base, southeast of Boukamal, with the death toll reaching 52 according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The US military denied it was responsible.
According to CNN, the latest attack is unlike those normally carried out by Israel, which usually occur in the west of the country around Damascus and Homs. Sunday’s attack took place in the east, but also targeted Iraqi forces, as opposed to Iranian ones.
