Air strike targets Iranian-backed militia in Syria's Deir ez-Zor
[NPASYRIA] Yesterday on Monday, an unidentified warplane targeted two sites of Iranian-backed factions near al-Bukamal city on the Syrian-Iraqi border, eastern Syria.

"An unidentified warplane bombed two military points of Liwa al-Quds with several missiles near the border," a military source of the Hashemiyoun faction which is affiliated with Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said.

The targeting led to the killing of a leader of the Iranian-backed Liwa al-Quds when he was passing the border towards Iraq.

It also affected a vehicle which was loaded with ammunition near a military point of the Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba on the Iraqi side, the source added.

The killed leader is of Iraqi origin and he was armament official in the Liwa al-Quds, according to the source.

The air strike coincided with targeting a car near al-Sukhna town, east of Homs, central Syria, which led to the killing of three Iraqi leaders of the Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, according to a military source of the Syrian government forces.

The source told North Press that the car was heading to al-Sukhna area before it was targeted.

On October 8, unidentified drone targeted an armory of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in the city of al-Bukamal, east of Deir ez-Zor.

Syrian government forces and Iranian-backed factions with Russian support have been running the city of al-Bukamal and al-Mayadin in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor since November 2017 following battles against the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS).

Iran, through its involvement in the battles, managed to expand its power in the eastern frontlines in Syria especially in al-Bukamal city near the Syrian-Iraqi borders.
