Iran Backed Militia Attacked In Syria

Militia backed by Iran have been getting surprise airstrikes which no one is claiming responsibility for 

Iranian back militia was recently attacked through airstrikes in eastern Syria and no one has taken responsibility of the strikes. Atleast eight persons have said to have perished along with weapons stores and shipments.

Airstrikes hit resources near the Iraqi border. According to a U.K.-based monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the attack destroyed

Weapons warehouses and vehicles near the city of Alboukamal, Iraq.

It is worth mentioning that Israel has been targeting the Iran led forces and weapon warehouses in order to prevent it from establishing permanent presence in Syria. Iran backs the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad. It has used its presence in Syria to cement a land route through Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, where it supports proxy forces.

Due to sudden firing on such facilities, it has been reported that as a precautionary measure, the Iranian-backed militias had evacuated some of their headquarters in Alboukamal. Over the last few weeks, they have been deploying their fighters into orchards and farms along the Euphrates River where they would be more hidden from aerial view, according to the observatory.

With US moving out of the border, and Turkey putting pressure over Kurdish army to leave Syria, there is hardly any control over who will be firing off the Iranian back milia. It is also worth noting that US and Iran are deeply entrenched into a war like situation right now and it is becoming increasingly difficult for Iraq to maintain peace with both these militarily powerful nations.

While it would not want to, it sees itself being caught in a cross fire.
