U.S. forces in Syria were injured Friday from Iranian rocket attacks targeted American outposts, Fox News has learned.
The attacks occurred in Deir Ezzor in eastern Syria. A senior U.S. defense official said there were two separate attacks carried out by Iranian proxy forces targeting two U.S. bases.
One was a rocket attack and the other involved multiple Iranian drones, the official said. The number of casualties has not been disclosed but some may be serious. The Pentagon was assessing its response.
The attacks came after an American contractor was killed by a suspected Iranian drone that hit and injured six servicemen in northeast Syria.
