2024-09-29
Possibly Kataib Hezbollah
[Rudaw] A suicide drone, allegedly launched by Iran-backed militia groups, targeted United States troops positioned near the Koniko gas field in Syria’s eastern Deir ez-Zor province, a war monitor reported on Saturday, hours after the announcement of the killing of Hezbollah Leader in an Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
"Violent explosions were heard, caused by a suicide,drone attack carried out by Iran-backed militias on the US base at the ’Koniko’ gas plant in the northern countryside of Deir ez-Zor," the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported.

The war monitor noted that the troops in the area countered the attacks, with no immediate information on casualties, or whether the drones were shot down.

This comes hours after the Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah announced the death of its Leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

in an Israeli airstrike on the capital Beirut on Friday.

Nasrallah, who led Hezbollah for more than 30 years, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in a residential neighborhood on Friday. People fled southern Beirut in the middle of the night as Israel carried out additional airstrikes.

Eleven people were killed and more than 100 others were maimed in the Israeli strikes, Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
’s health ministry said in a news conference on Saturday afternoon.
