AMMAN, May 18 (Reuters) - U.S.-led coalition jets hit a convoy of Syrian and Iranian-backed militias that were heading towards the Tanf base in southern Syria where U.S. special forces are based, a rebel official with a Pentagon-backed rebel group said on Thursday

Muzahem al Saloum, from the Maghawir al Thwra group, told Reuters that the jets struck after rebel forces clashed with advancing Syrian and Iranian militias that were about 27 kms away from the base.

“We notified the coalition that we were being attacked by the Syrian army and Iranians in this point and the coalition came and destroyed the advancing convoy,” Saloum said.

U.S. officials say an American airstrike has hit pro-Syrian government forces in southern Syria as they were setting up fighting positions in a protected area.

The officials say the strike near Tanf hit a tank and a bulldozer and forces there, but it was not clear if they were Syrian army troops or other pro-government allies.

One official says the pro-regime forces had entered a so-called "de-confliction" zone without authorization and were perceived as a threat to U.S.-allied troops there. The officials say the strike was a defensive move to protect the U.S. allies. It wasn't clear if U.S. forces were there.

Wouldn't even have to. Wall Street and this economic system require endless wars of exploitation, mass consumption, and the endless issuance of debt to stay afloat.

US bombs Assad-backed militia in Syria

Oh look the US is helping ISIS some more! SHOCKER!

These ignorant fucks bomb a "de confliction zone" that's NOT THEIR COUNTRY. I fucking hate the zionist swine running the US military and its government. Its a "de confliction zone" but only for SYRIANS trying to stop TERRORISTS. This country deserves to be over run and destroyed. Its brought it on its self.

President Trump has garnered greatest public support by dropping bombs and cruise missiles nearly on top of the Russians backing the Syrian regime.

What could go wrong? Its doubtful that question's been given much thought in our high councils.

The U.S. military launched fresh air strikes against pro-Assad forces in Syria, officials told Fox News Thursday.


The American strikes were the first against Assad positions since the Pentagon rained 57 Tomahawk missiles on the Shayrat air base near Homs. But the strikes confirmed Thursday were believed to be the first targeting Syrian personnel. According to the defense official, the coalition strikes targeted pro regime units operating in the vicinity of At-Tnaf, near the Iraqi border. After a show of force to try to stop the pro regime forces was ignored, the strikes were mounted.

"The coalition commander assessed the threat and after shows of force didn't stop the regime forces and those forces refused to move out of the deconfliction zone, the commander on the ground called for the air strike as a matter of force protection," a senior U.S. defense official told Fox News.

But the attack on forces does not reflect an escalation, the official said.

"There is no change in policy," the official said.
