In a sudden development that shook the Al-Omar oil field area in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, the region witnessed violent explosions coinciding with the withdrawal of US forces from the military base that was under their control. According to local sources and specialized websites, these explosions resulted from airstrikes carried out by the international coalition aircraft, targeting the military infrastructure that had been established in the field before the departure of US forces. Reports confirmed that US aircraft flew intensively in the region, carrying out at least four strikes targeting strategic facilities in the vicinity of the Al-Omar oil field. These strikes are part of the international coalition's policy to destroy any equipment or facilities that could pose a security threat in the region after the departure of US forces from the base, which was a pivotal point in military operations. Despite hours passing since the incident, detailed information about the targets of the airstrikes remains unclear, raising many questions about the coalition's motives behind these attacks: Was the sole aim to destroy the infrastructure, or are there larger strategic objectives on the horizon? With security tensions persisting in the region, the question remains open as to whether this step is part of a broader strategy by the international coalition in the Middle East.
