The US army
foiled an attack on its base in southeastern Syria and shot down three explosive-laden drones
or unmanned aerial vehicles (UVAs) before they could reach their targets,
The US Al-Tnaf military base in Syria, near the Jordanian border, was the target of the armed drones, local sources said.
US troops
shot down the drones before they could reach their targets, they added.
So far, no
group has claimed responsibility for the attempted attack on the US
military base, and the US has also not issued a statement about the incident.
In recent
days, US military bases in Syria have been targeted by drones carrying
explosives and surface-to-surface missiles, the perpetrators of which remain
unclear.
The latest
incident occurred when Israeli forces intensified attacks on Gaza
after its blockade, preventing any humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people.
At least
10,022 Palestinians, including 4,104 children and 2,641 women, have been killed
in the Israeli bombardments in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli death toll
is nearly 1,600, according to official figures.
Besides the
large number of casualties and massive displacements, basic supplies are
running low for Gaza's 2.3 million residents due to the Israeli siege.
