- American military aircraft struck Iran-backed militia targets in eastern Syria for the third day in a row on Thursday as commanders sought to suppress a new flurry of attacks on US bases in the country.
- Wednesday’s airstrikes on the Ayyash depot were authorized by US President Joe Biden in response to two prior barrages targeting US bases in Syria on Aug. 15 at Green Village and Al-Tanf, neither of which caused damage or injured any personnel.
