Ermmm I think the #US just conducted a retaliation strike on the #Iraq/#Syria border. Evolving situation.

2 American’s and 1 British soldier killed in the earlier attack

multiple strikes reported against Pro-#Iran PMU position(s) in Al-Heri, #Syria near the #Iraq|i border.

At least 8 explosions were reported according to reports.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that the aircraft involved in the airstrike came from Jordan.

Note this doesn’t mean the took off from Jordan, if it’s true, this could simply mean they went through Jordan, on the way, if confirmed.

Well then, it’s highly plausible then….

This gets interesting, the reported location is “Al-Heri” (spelling could be off), this is just North/North-East of the #IRGC affilated Ali Imam base in #Syria, an area that was reportedly used to house #IRGC militants.

Using @ImageSatIntl infograph included, the “Border Crossing Compound” is in this area. Of course, this isn’t confirmed and Satellite imagery over the coming days will help locate this.

There are some new reports suggesting that Ali Imam Base was targeted, these areas are close together, time will tell….

So, here is a 10m/px image from @sentinel_hub yesterday of the area in question. I’ve tagged areas of interest. 8 reported explosions in Al-Heri and 15 in Ali Imam Base. #Syria #Iraq #IRGC #US

Significant #USAF activity being reported over Al-Anbar, #Iraq.

Update: 1 #US Solider, 1 US Contractor and 1 #UK/#British Solider were killed in the earlier Katyusha strike.

#Syria|n state media SANA confirms hostile airstrikes.

Initial reports of explosions around Al-Qaim, #Iraq.

Unconfirmed but reported video from “Al-Heri” this evening. #Syria #US

Areas of interest so far;
- “Al-Heri” SE of Albukamal, #Syria
- Ali Imam Base (#IRGC Affilated), #Syria
- Al-Qaim, #Anbar, #Iraq

#US

#US Apaches are being reported around Ain Al-Assad airbase, #Iraq.

Update: One Polish Solider was wounded in the attack earlier against Camp Taji, #Iraq

Numbers have already begun circulating about militant deaths in the airstrikes this evening. Nothing is confirmed. These will flux over the next 24/48 hours.

Intense aerial activity still being reported over Ain Al-Assad Airbase, #Iraq

I dont think this is over.

Previous escalations are what im basing my thoughts on, context Qasem Soleimani.
