Al-Tanaf attack aftermath | Coalition forces deployed outside al-Tanaf base, amid expectations to return to the base today

SOHR sources have reported that International Coalition Forces have not returned yet to al-Tanaf military base in the 55-kilometre zone near the Syria-Iraq-Jordan border triangle. Coalition Forces have been still deployed nearby the base, and they are expected to return to the base today.

 

SOHR sources have also reported that a group of Jaysh al-Maghawir entered the base and checked the material damage caused by yesterday’s attack by an unidentified drone. Meanwhile, the body carried out this attack remained unknown.

 

Yesterday, SOHR activists reported that explosions were heard in al-Tanf military base of International Coalition in the evening, due to drone shelling on the buffet, a mosque, and the depot of food supply inside the base. It’s unknown yet whether ISIS or Iranian militias were responsible for the shelling. However, no casualties were reported.

 

SOHR activists reported military alert of Jaish Maghaweer al-Thawra in the evening, in the 55 square kilometers area near al-Tanf base of the International Coalition where British forces were stationed, at the Syrian-Iraqi-Jordanian border.

 

SOHR sources confirmed that the International Coalition forces and Jaish al-Maghaweer deployed in the vicinity of al-Tanf base, coinciding with information about targeting al-Tanf base with drones, while the armed faction evacuated the base of its vehicles to transport them to other checkpoints which were prepared with mobile medical checkpoints.

 

It is worth noting that this targeting is the first of its kind for the military base.
