US military bases in Syria have been placed on high alert and tightened security following an attack in the city of Palmyra, Syrian local sources have reported.<\/p>\n
According to these sources, American bases in several areas, including Hasakah and Deir ez-Zor, are now under heightened alert, with significantly increased military movements and security checks.<\/p>\n
The sources added that US forces are concerned the Palmyra attack could mark the beginning of a new wave of assaults targeting their presence in Syria. Reports indicate the assailant was affiliated with a group led by Julani and had previously infiltrated the group’s security structure.<\/p>\n
The Wall Street Journal, citing a US officer, reported that the attack took place during a meeting between a US officer and a Syrian Interior Ministry official in Palmyra. According to the officer, a lone armed individual appeared at a window and opened fire, prompting the soldiers present to return fire. The attacker was subsequently killed.<\/p>\n
The report stated that several US soldiers were killed or wounded during the incident, although no specific casualty figures have been released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
