Iraqi resistance conducts drone strike on US-run base in Syria

This picture purportedly shows the wreckage of an Iraqi unmanned aircraft intercepted and shot down by Syria's air defenses as it was flying over the US-run al-Tanf base on March 28, 2026.

Fighters from the anti-terror group Islamic Resistance in Iraq have conducted a drone strike against an installation operated by US occupation forces in Syria's southwestern al-Tanf region, close to the borders with Iraq and Jordan.

The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that air defense systems manned by members of the ruling Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militant group had intercepted and shot down an unmanned aircraft as it was flying in the skies over the base.

It added that the drone had most likely set off from an area in neighboring Iraq, without specifying the exact location.

Back on March 20, Iraqi resistance groups destroyed three critical sites at the US-run Harir base in Erbil -- the capital of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, sharply reducing American military activities there.

An informed source said the positions were targeted simultaneously with missile strikes on the Victory Airbase close to the Baghdad International Airport.

Over the past two weeks, coordinated drone and missile attacks have repeatedly struck key infrastructure at Harir, including its central radar system, which was hit at least four times and ultimately destroyed.
