The victim killed in the strikes is reportedly civilian identified as Emad Shahab. Minutes after the attacks, sources close to the Syrian militants claimed that several Iranian military advisers and other members of the resistance axis were killed in the airstrikes. However, these claims cannot be confirmed.
On March 24, Al Mayadeen reported that armed groups of Shiites belonging to the Islamic Resistance of Iraq movement fired missiles at a military airfield in Harrab al-Jair, which is used by US forces deployed in the Syrian province of Hasakah. Several large explosions thundered on the territory of the facility. Amid the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the Gaza Strip, attacks on US military bases in Syria and Iraq have become more frequent. Shiite forces warned the United States that they would increase the number of armed operations in Syria and Iraq, as Washington continues to provide military assistance to the Israeli army.
