US occupation forces have carried out deadly strikes against Syrian military for the second day in a row, as Washington is scrambling to deter the resistance front’s retaliations against the Israeli regime’s genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip and carnage in southern Lebanon.

The television network said the airstrikes targeted sites of the Syrian army's auxiliary forces in al-Jam'iyat area in the city of al-Bukamal and the al-Bukamal Desert, adding that three people were killed and five others injured.
