According to the ISI report, the Iranian IRGC forces are building a tunnel within the Imam ‘Ali Base, which was previously attacked in highly-publicized strike by the Israeli forces in September.
The tunnel excavation began not only in spite of the compound #airstrike (9 Sept 2019) but even as a lesson learned from the mentioned #attack. pic.twitter.com/9hIxfHSY8e

While the IRGC has not commented on these claims in the past, the Iranian force does in fact have a large presence in the eastern countryside of the Deir Ezzor Governorate, especially around the Iraqi border.
The IRGC has maintained a large presence in the area between the cities of Al-Mayadeen and Albukamal, with reports of several checkpoints setup along the road between them.
Over the weekend, an airstrike was reported on the IRGC’s positions in the Albukamal countryside; however, it is difficult to confirm due to the absence of sources in this region of Syria.
