A series of airstrikes targeted Iranian weapons shipments in the Al-Bukamal area on the Syrian-Iraqi border. The attacks, reportedly conducted by American and Israeli forces, destroyed trucks carrying rockets, communication equipment, and ammunition belonging to Iran-backed militias, specifically the IRGC's Unit 700. The explosions caused significant damage and were reported near American bases in the region, including Deir ez-Zor and Ashayer. The targeted shipments had entered Iraq, traveled through Southern Baghdad, and crossed into Syria before being struck. The airstrikes have been attributed to the US military, with some sources suggesting Israeli involvement.
