Unidentified drones attacked Syrian regime forces and pro-Iranian militias on Tuesday at the Hamdan airport near the town of al-Bukamal, The Jerusalem Post reported, citing TV station Halab Today. 

“Before the attack, three drones were seen flying from the direction of areas under the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces militia,” said the report.

There have been no further details on possible casualties or the identifications of the attacker.

“At noon, explosions were heard at the Hamdan airport. Ambulances were sent to the airport, but the number of casualties is unknown,” the report added.

Israel has been frequently bombing Iranian bases in Iraq and Syria for the last two years.
