US bombing Syria stealthily in revenge for offensive near Israel
On the night of June 18, a certain “mysterious force” launched air strikes at a military facility in Syria. Apparently, in this force there is really nothing mysterious - as you know, the United States and the "international coalition" led by them have already repeatedly attacked the Middle East state and its army. But in this case, the Pentagon refutes its involvement in the incident.
According to the Syrian news agency SANA, the incident occurred in the east of the country, in the village of Al-Hari near the city of Abu Kemal (Deir ez-Zor province). This area is located on the banks of the Euphrates near the Syrian-Iraqi border. Presumably, the United States bombed one of the objects belonging to the Syrian Armed Forces from an airplane. The airstrike caused human casualties - both dead and wounded. But their exact number is unknown.
Three days earlier, the army of the Syrian Arab Republic liberated a territory located west of the city of Meyadin with an area of approximately 2 square kilometers.
However, this time Washington denies any involvement in the bombing. According to TASS, a Dean from the Pentagon press service, Marine Corps Major Adrian Rankin-Galloway said:
Reuters, in turn, quotes the words of the official representative of the Central Command of the US Armed Forces Josh Jacques:
There remains one of two things: either the United States has struck a stealth and now is disowning it, or Israel has done so, also repeatedly carrying out such acts of aggression. But this time, the most probable version is the version of Washington’s involvement in the incident - the city of Abu Kemal and the province of Deir ez-Zor as a whole are in the zone of interests of the United States, which wants to turn this territory into a base for the so-called “moderate opposition”.
The Syrian leadership has repeatedly appealed to the UN Security Council and other international structures about acts of aggression against the state. Unfortunately, the “world community” is silent.
Just the other day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the SAR appealed to the UN Secretary General and the UN Security Council regarding the US air raids and their coalition in the province of Hasake, which led to the deaths of dozens of civilians.
Meanwhile, the situation may worsen in another Syrian province - Daraa, located in the south of the state, on the border with Israel. The army launched an operation against terrorists in the village of Tell al-Mal. The forces are concentrated for the operation in the city of Daraa itself. Washington strongly dislikes these plans.
On June 15, the US State Department accused Damascus of violating agreements related to de-escalation zones. One of these zones is just in the region of Daraa province.
- said in a statement by the State Department, which was distributed by his representative, Heather Nauert.
She added that US authorities could take "decisive and appropriate steps." The reproach from her side traditionally went to Russia, which "is responsible for exerting diplomatic and military influence on the Syrian government."
The first deputy head of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Council of the Russian Federation Vladimir Dzhabarov said that the application of measures against Syria by Washington is unacceptable. His words are quoted by RBC:
What happened in the province of Deir ez-Zor, however, shows that the hopes expressed by the Russian senator were in vain.

We did not strike

None of the US-led coalition members launched air strikes in Abu Kemal

The US is alarmed by reports of operations by the Syrian government in the south-west of the country inside the de-escalation zone created by agreement reached last year by the United States, Jordan and the Russian Federation, which was confirmed during a meeting of Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in November in Vietnam

Americans have resorted to this practice before. I hope that now there will be no unpredictable actions against the Syrian government army. In any case, confrontation must be avoided.
What happened in the province of Deir ez-Zor, however, shows that the hopes expressed by the Russian senator were in vain.
