On February 25, the U.S. military conducted a precision air strike on a base used by the Iranian-backed militia Kattaib Hezbollah near the town of Al Bukamal on the Syrian side of the Iraqi-Syrian border.The strikes came in response to a series of rocket attacks on U.S. facilities in Iraq, including an attack in Erbil that left a non-U.S. contractor dead and four U.S. personnel wounded, and another rocket attack targeting the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.In the U.S. attack near Al Bukamal, a militia member was confirmed killed, although some sources reported as many as 17 or 22 died. The same day, a Twitter account with over 346,000 followers called StanceGrounded (@_SJPeace_) tweeted a TikTok video purporting to show the effects of U.S. aerial bombing in Syria, with the following message:U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East This is Syria!
