The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies in Deir Ezzor repelled on December 3 a surprise attack that was launched by tribal fighters backed by the United States.
The attack in Deir Ezzor the only seven towns under the control of the Syrian government on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River. The Deir Ezzor Military Council (DMC) of the Syrian Democratic Forces said that the attack was launched in response to calls from locals in the towns and to counter the growing threat of ISIS.
Nevertheless, the real reason behind the attack was likely to secure U.S. bases located in the nearby Conoco gas plant and al-Omar oil fields. Both bases were targeted by Iran-backed armed factions on several occasions in the wake of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
Despite receiving close air support from the U.S.-led coalition, the tribal fighters failed to capture any of the seven towns, Salihiyya, Tabiyya, Hatla, Hasham, Marrat, Mazlum and Husayniyya, from the SAA and its allies.
On December 4, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said that its forces struck three truck mounted Multiple Rocket Launchers, a T-64 tank, an armored personnel carrier, and mortars that presented “a clear and imminent threat to U.S. and Coalition forces” at the Military Support Site Euphrates in Conoco.
The attack in Deir Ezzor came just days after al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham launched a large-scale offensive in northwestern Syria, expelling the SAA from the city of Aleppo and dozens of towns in the countryside of Aleppo, Idlib and Hama.
“The U.S. mission in Syria remains unchanged as U.S. and Coalition forces continue to focus on the enduring defeat of ISIS,” CENTCOM said in a statement. “The ongoing support of regional partners and operations in Syria are unrelated to recent events in northwest Syria,”
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based pro-opposition monitoring group, the clashes in Deir Ezzor claimed the lives of two civilians, a woman and a child, three DMC fighters, as well as 11 personnel of the SAA and its allies.
The failed attack was clearly an attempt by the U.S. to take advantage of the ongoing HTS-led offensive in northwestern Syria.

while russia and iran make phone calls with erdogan, erdogan makes military progress with israel and usa. finally we know what strategy is better. so time to not be afraid of ww3 and bomb some nato countries no?
ww3 will happen soon anyways, if we want it or not.
it’s all been one war since paris .it’s one globalist war .all from one source hitching up a couple of team mates .it never really stopped ,they’ve just shifted focus as necessary along their merry way .follow the yellow brick.road .
ww3 has already started, but not against russia. it’s being fought against the “sunni” muslim world and began in 2001 with “gwot”. i’ll soon write a series of articles in this regard. all the conditions of a world war has been done.
už v podstate prebieha dávno a to od roku pána 1999, keď darebácky štát usa napadlo srbsko!!! aj wwii nezačala napadnutím poľska, ale anšlusom, teda obsadením rakúska!!! potom nasledovala mníchovská dohoda, obsadenie a zničenie čsr za podpory poľska!!! a až následne sa hitler obrátil proti poľsku!!!
uae, egipt, russia should join forces like they did in libya when they stopped a turkish&terrorists ofensive towards sirte and bengasi
they didn’t stop a turkish offensive. they agreed to dimilitarize sirti and jufra
bombing us army bases in syria could be a wiser and better start.
you don’t understand or pretend to not understand what’s really happening in syria right now. you claim turkiye is cooperating with israel and america. this means israel is willing to have a sunni islamist government on its doorstep. you think israel will trust erdogan establishing a sunni islamist government?
threatwatchers.org
there are people who say erdogan is not who we think he is and has a little hat at home same as the leaders of saudi arabia. i do not trust any politician also because they can be bribed, blackmailed, brainwashed or member of a secret society🙈
its over for zionist-enslaved loser-gringo plans to fold syria & assad again. if they didnt take hama & the kusham pocket near their bases around conoco oilfields, despite their supposedly invincible air force, navy & army forces based all over the middle east; then they’ll never be able to cut the iranian landbridge thru iraq, syria & lebanon. & if they cant do that, how do they expect to take on iran itself after their embarrassing defeat by taliban goatherders
read my article on hezbollah’s future after the ceasefire to understand what happened. i’ll soon publish a long analysis to explain what’s happening and likely to happen in syria over time.
threatwatchers.org
fuck the us mission in syria, those a10s should’ve been shot down.
the u.s. is in syria only to pressure turkiye. if it wanted to cut off hezbollah from iran, it would have done that long ago. it isn’t in syria to overthrow assad. it prefers assad to a sunni government allied with turkiye. iran is just an excuse. turkiye is the real target. but erdogan woke up on time and foiled their plans. that’s why biden has such a personal animosity towards erdogan.
threatwatchers.org
i read your little synopsis and let most of your claims go by without comment, but when you said the us is not there to get rid of assad, but to pressure erdo…well, that’s total manure. regime change in syria has been the objective since long before 2011 and it still is. erdo is still in bed with israel and the us, they are enemies like the kurds and isis (u.s./israel) are. not. erdo never did 1 thing to dissuade israel and keeps them supplied.
the “us” cannibalistic mission in syria is the same as everywhere else; to steal other peoples nature resources. throw them out ! they will collapse already with a united attack on the bases.
you can say their name aragorn, don’t be “shy”. we all know the jews run the show behind the curtain.
they like to pretend oils scarce .it isn’t. there’s so much if should be about 2 cents a gallon.
so true, fossile fuels are a scam to drive up prices. they do not come from dinosaurs etc. but are constantly made by mother earth. the first person i know exposing this was fletcher prouty (mr x from the jfk movie). later more insiders spoke out.
one day the yankees will get the bill for their terrorist actions, but the sad thing is they do not even notice they are already being killed off by their own government (import of meths and crack by cia, overdoses of legal prescription drugs, the deathvaxx, fires on hawaii, manmade hurricanes, school shootings by manchurian candidates, the waco inferno etc.)🥶
the grand sounding “syrian observatory for human rights” is just an mi5 mouthpiece. it is one man in a council house in coventry who has never set foot in syria.
kým nevyženú okupačné vojská usa a turecka zo sýrie, tak v sýrii nenastane mier!!! mysleniu zdar a svetu mier!!!
turkiye mounted a surprise attack with their pet terrorists w/israel and us providing real -time intel, ew and newly acquired drones. this was a fast attack and successful. at least for now. it remains to be seen if they will be able to consolidate these gains. more likely, they will be bombed constantly, then evaporated when they run. their tactics smell of ukr and nato.
how long will their quick success last? as in ukr, soon surrounded, then neutralized? likely the same will happen here. but for now the terrorists are having their 15 minutes of fame and glory. unit 8200 has reconstituted and is alive and well here in the comments. the foregone conclusion that assad is losing has been made before. this time, they won’t be allowed to run, they will be eliminated. watch for massive russian weapons supplies. erdo outed himself as a traitor and zionist backer.
