Iraqi resistance targets three US bases in Syria, Iraq in solidarity with Gaza

Iraqi resistance forces target three US-occupied military bases in Syria and neighboring Iraq in retaliation for Washington’s support for the bloody Israeli onslaught against the Gaza Strip.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, in a statement published on its Telegram channel early on Saturday, claimed responsibility for the drone strikes on the US-occupied base in Syria’s al-Tanf region, near the borders with Iraq and Jordan, as well as the US-run facility in al-Shaddadi town, situated about 50 kilometers (31 miles) south of Syria’s northeastern city of Hasakah.

Earlier, combat drones targeted al-Harir Air Base, which houses US military forces in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq noted that the operation came in retaliation for US support of Israel’s devastating military campaign in the Gaza Strip. 

There were no immediate reports about the extent of damage at the military facility, and possible casualties.
