The activists of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, within the area west of the Euphrates under the influence of the militias affiliated with Iran, reported that these militias are continuing their “redeployment” operations in their areas of control, especially the city of Al-Bukamal and its surroundings near the Syrian-Iraqi border in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, within what is known as the “Qassem Soleimani Road” “.
It is changing points and locations, transferring weapons from warehouses and storing them in other places, as precautionary measures and camouflaging operations for fear of repeated targeting, especially with the recent escalation by “unidentified” drones, which destroyed and hit 11 targets in 70 days and left dozens dead and wounded.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights had monitored 9 aerial targeting of Iranian-affiliated militia sites during the period from the fourth of last September, until the middle of this month, one of them was in the Al-Mayadin area, while the rest all hit Al-Bukamal, which is a strategic area.
According to the follow-ups of the Syrian Observatory and its full monitoring of these strikes, the nine targets left 14 dead of the pro-Iranian militias of Syrian and non-Syrian nationalities, in addition to more than 27 wounded of different nationalities, some of them in critical condition, in addition to destroying and wounding at least 11 targets.
In light of this escalation, the militias affiliated with Iran, during the same period, carried out redeployment operations within towns and villages extending from Al-Mayadin to Al-Bukamal at the Syrian-Iraqi border in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, in repeated operations to camouflage. A few days ago, for example, it removed the banners of the Iranian militias from some of their military posts and headquarters in the city of Al-Bukamal, and replaced them with the internationally recognized Syrian flags.
It also transferred shipments of weapons from inside al-Rahbi Castle and from a weapons depot near the Shalabi ruins, east of Deir ez-Zor, to its points, locations and headquarters, where it redeployed within the aforementioned areas.
Meanwhile, the “Lebanese Hezbollah” transferred a quantity of weapons and ammunition from the area west of the Euphrates, which has become a “colony” of Iranian-affiliated militias on Syrian territory, to the party’s sites at the Syrian-Lebanese border in the countryside of the capital, Damascus, where Hezbollah trucks transported weapons and ammunition from The militia’s warehouses and warehouses near the effects of al-Shalabi in the countryside of al-Mayadin, east of Deir ez-Zor, and took the Deir ez-Zor-Damascus road, and headed to the border with Lebanon in the capital’s countryside, where the trucks were unloaded at Hezbollah sites within the barrens of the area.
In addition, the militias bring military reinforcements on a daily basis to their sites and points, and fortify those sites and points further.
