Suicide drones launched by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iranian-backed armed factions, have targeted four bases hosting United States forces in Iraq and Syria as well as a military facility in Israel.
The group announced the attacks on January 28. In separate statements, it said a U.S. base located near the town of Khirbat Adana in the northeastern Syria governorate of al-Hasakah was attacked late on January 27, and three other bases, al-Tanf garrison and al-Rukan camp in the southeastern region as well as al-Shadadi base in al-Hasakah, were targeted after midnight.
Also on January 28 morning, another attack targeted a key site of the Israeli Navy near the town of ZevulunI in northern Israel, the group said.
In addition, a U.S. base located next to Erbil International Airport in the northern Iraqi autonomous region of Kurdistan was targeted in the afternoon.
The attacks, which were all carried out using suicide drones, were carried out in response to “the massacres of the Zionist entity” against Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the IRI noted in its statements.
There were no reports of losses after the IRI attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that a single drone was shot down over al-Tanf.
Meanwhile in Israel, the military and media didn’t report any attack or interception near Zevulunl or any other northern areas. No warning sirens were sounded either.
U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria have come under attack more than 150 times since October 17 -ten days after the outbreak of the Israeli war on Gaza-, according to U.S. defense officials. The IRI claimed responsibility for most of these attacks.
The group also carried out several attacks against Israel, launching drones and missiles at targets from the north to the south of the country as well as off its shores.
The U.S. responded by targeting some of the IRI’s factions in both Iraq and Syria. Israel didn’t announce any retaliatory attacks. However, it was unofficially blamed for several recent strikes which targeted the Iraqi-Syrian border and were not claimed by the U.S. military.
if i ran china, i would think this is the moment to cease to desteoy every us threat in their zone while the us is bogged down on at least 2 other major fronts.
hey yanquis, genocide joe now say: “you come home quick, you fight texas now, to keep border open”.
the us are making hay whilst the sun shines because they know their days are numbered. they threw their lot in with the isreali apartheid regime long ago, even at the expense of their european friends, who are probably just goy to them now. hundreds of years of western folly is coming to an end.
