There are no official comments on this either from the official Damascus or from the US command, on the background of which many questions arose as to whether the Syrian forces actually attacked the area of ​​the largest US military base in Syria.

At the same time, a number of other sources confirm the current attack, noting that the Army of the Revolutionary Command also has losses in manpower and equipment, which may indicate the willingness of the SAA to begin to storm this area of ​​Syria.
