Iranian-backed factions deploy rockets in Syria's Deir ez-Zor
|
[NPASYRIA] On Sunday, a military source said that factions backed by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) started to deploy short-range rockets and medium-range artillery within their positions and military headquarters in the eastern and western countryside of Deir ez-Zor, which they control.
The rockets and artillery were brought from the warehouses of the Iranian-backed factions in al-Mayadin district in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor and the warehouses of Jabal al-Bishri in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor. After that, they were collected in the city of al-Bukamal, east of Deir ez-Zor, and the town of al-Tabani, west of Deir ez-Zor, the source added.
Two personnel have been placed at each point, and are trained to launch and direct Katyusha rockets and artillery shells accurately. Readiness has been raised at those points since the completion of their deployment on Monday, the source indicated.
120 millimeter artillery and short-range Katyusha and Grad rockets
...Soviet-developed 122-mm rockets, usually launched from trucks. Newer versions are reported to have a range of up to 30 km....
, in addition to their ammunition and launchers, were placed at the military points of Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba and Liwa Fatemiyoun near the banks of the Euphrates River, the source pointed out.
The process of deploying artillery and short-range missiles began 72 hours after American aircraft targeted points of the IRGC-backed Sayyid of Martyrs Battalions in the vicinity of al-Bukamal.
The deployment came as a response to the targeting of the points of Iranian-backed factions by American forces in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor, the military source stated.
