US forces at Iraq's Ain Al-Asad base targeted by fresh drone attack
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says its drone has hit the US-run Ain Al-Asad airbase in western Iraq in a fresh attack in retaliation for Washington’s complicity in the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
No casualties were immediately reported in the attack that occurred on Thursday night.
This is the latest in a series of attacks against US bases in Iraq and Syria for its support for Israeli atrocities. Many such attacks against the US forces have been claimed by groups operating under the banner of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
On Thursday, the resistance announced a drone attack on a US military base in Al-Hasakah Governorate, northeastern Syria.
Early on Thursday, the resistance fighters also targeted a US military base at the Koniko gas field in Dayr al-Zawr Governorate of Syria. A few hours earlier, they also targeted US military bases in Al-Tanf and Al-Rukban regions, both in Syria.
US defense officials say American bases in Iraq and Syria have come under around 100 attacks since October 17, injuring several dozen American troops.
The US army has several times attacked Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces over the past weeks, killing several Iraqi forces.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has warned the US against such attacks on the Arab country.
The United States, Israel’s biggest ally, has provided the regime with large quantities of arms and ammunition since the beginning of the Gaza war.
Washington has also vetoed United Nations Security Council resolutions demanding the occupying regime to cease its aggression.
Iraqi resistance groups have vowed to continue retaliatory attacks against US forces in the region while Israel continues to kill Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
