#BREAKING: I am hearing unconfirmed reports about an airstrike at #IRGC Proxies in #ABukamal, East of #Syria 10 minutes ago. It is not known who has carried out the airstrike but it is high likely carried-out by #IsraeliAirForce.

#BREAKING: It is now confirmed. The attack targeted a convoy of trucks carrying ammunitions and weapons for #IRGC Quds Force. The convoy had passed through the border crossing and was inside #Syria's territory!

According to local eyewitness, three small munitions (possibly smart bombs) hit three trucks loaded with weapons near Al-Hari village in #Abukamal region of #Syria. The targeted trucks should be around this point: 34°25'11.40"N 40°56'53.33"E

#Syrian officials claim that these trucks were targeted by #USAF armed drones (MQ-9 Reaper) but #CENTCOM has not yet issued any statement and my #Israeli military sources claim it was carried-out by #IsraeliAirForce. We have to wait for CENTCOM.

Last night, #US Armed Forces in Deir Ezzor area were put on high alert to confront any possible attack of #IRGC proxies in response to the drone attack of #Israel in #Isfahan. hese trucks might have had rockets inside to be used against Americans in #Syria

According to local eyewitnesses, first a missile without warhead was launched at one of the trucks which had No driver inside. Then drivers of other trucks left the scene. Then they launched several missiles at six of them to destroy them. No civilian casualty is reported.
