Unidentified warplanes launched airstrikes against Iranian positions near the Syrian city of Albukamal, which borders Iraq, according to a report by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). The area hosts the Imam Ali military base, where pro-Iranian militias operate. The militias maintain other outposts that extend to the nearby city of Deir Ezzor, including the T-2, T-3, and T-4 bases. Airstrikes have hit these locations every month for over a year. The most recent airstrikes targeted Imam Ali, the area of al-Sekka, and the desert around Deir Ezzor, resulting in the deaths of fifteen militiamen and the destruction of weapons.
