US Deploys HIMARS Missile System in Eastern Syria, Creating ‘Free Syria Army’ Near Raqqa to Destabilize Country

The United States has deployed a HIMARS missile system to its occupying forces stationed near oil fields in eastern Syria, local sources reported on Tuesday.

According to the sources cited by Anadolu, the HIMARS missile system was sent to US forces in Deir ez-Zur province in the past few days.

Deir ez-Zur province, situated east of the Euphrates River, is currently occupied by Kurdish militia groups.

"The missile system was sent to the American bases in Al-Omar oilfield and Conoco gas plant," the sources revealed.

Since March 2011, Syria has been engulfed in a conflict fueled by foreign-backed militancy. Throughout this period, Western governments and their regional allies have supported terrorist groups that have caused extensive damage in the Arab country.

•  The United States has begun creating a "free Syria army" near the Syrian city of Raqqa so that they can use militants to destabilize the country, Russian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya said on Tuesday.

"We would like to once again point to the United States’ destructive policy. It looks like it is not enough for the US to simply supply weapons to illegal armed groups they created in Al-Tanf and on the Euphrates Eastern bank," he said at a United Nations Security Council meeting
