US Bases in Iraq, Syria Targeted by Drones, Rockets
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Two military facilities housing US occupation forces in Iraq's Kurdistan region and Syria's Hasakah province were struck by drones and rockets.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an anti-terror umbrella group, claimed responsibility for the attack on the al-Harir Air Base, situated north of Erbil International Airport. The base was targeted by two drones, which "directly hit their targets."
The attack was linked to Washington's support for Israel's aggression against Gaza. The US House of Representatives recently passed a $14 billion aid bill, including billions for Israel's military.
Various US officials have also supported Israel's actions and rejected ceasefire plans at the UN. Washington vetoed a UN Security Council resolution last month that called for humanitarian pauses in the Gaza conflict.
The war initiated by Israel against Gaza has claimed the lives of nearly 9,227 Palestinians, including thousands of children and women, since October 7, following Gaza's al-Aqsa Storm operation.
In northeastern Syria, a volley of rockets targeted a military base where US forces and allied militants are stationed.
The head of the Iraqi resistance group Harakat Hezbollah Nujaba stated that the battle against US occupation forces will continue until they fully withdraw from Iraq. He emphasized the readiness of the Iraqi resistance to join the fight against Zionists.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq said it is determined to liberate the country, with a commitment to ensuring that neither the US nor Israeli authorities can sleep peacefully while Palestinian children suffer under heavy Israeli bombardment.
