The US released footage of three strikes carried out in a combination of retaliation and preemption on sites that were supposedly intended to be used for additional rocket attacks against the US "Green Village" outpost in Syria's Der ez Zor province on Tuesday Jan. 4, 2022.

The culprits responsible for the rocket attack against the US base in Syria haven't been officially identified by US military officials, but the attacks coincided with two different rocket and loiter munition attacks against US forces in Iraq, which were carried out by Iranian-facilitated militants. It is very likely that the attack on US forces in Syria was also the work of pro Iran groups.

The US strikes shown in the video appear to have targeted uninhabited dwellings. No battle damage assessment or enemy casualty figures have been given. It is possible the strikes were against the weapons being staged or stored.
