Israel has been hit by rocket attacks from northern\u00a0Syria while explosions were heard at two US bases in that country, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Al Jazeera reported: “An explosion sounded in the vicinity of the American military base in the city of Al-Shaddadi, south of Al-Hasakah [in northeastern Syria].” The outlet also reported that a US aircraft carried out an airstrike at Albukamal near the Iraqi-Syrian border.<\/p>\n

Earlier unverified reports by pro-militia media in Iraq suggested that the US base at the al-Omar oil field in Syria came under attack. Al Jazeera Arabic also said that explosions were heard near that base.<\/p>\n

Israel confirmed that its territory was struck by rockets from northern Syria but that the projectiles landed in open areas resulting in no casualties.<\/p>\n

Israeli artillery was responding to that attack. The Israeli Defense Forces also confirmed that they had carried out airstrikes against a number of Hezbollah targets in response to rocket fire from southern Lebanon earlier today.<\/p>\n

Targets included “infrastructure for directing terror, and military infrastructure,” according to the IDF.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks US bases in Iraq and Syria have come under attack by pro-Iranian militia groups opposed to the US and Israel sparking fears of a wider war. At least 19 US troops suffered traumatic brain injuries as a result of those attacks.<\/p>\n

The reports of more attacks on Israel and US forces come as Tel Aviv stepped up its war against Hamas by launching a significant ground incursion into the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

The IDF said Israeli fighter jets had struck more than 450 targets in Gaza over the past 24 hours while an IDF officer was “severely injured” after being hit by a mortar in northern Gaza.<\/p>\n
