The attacks were carried out in condemnation of the presence of American occupation forces in Iraq and elsewhere in the West Asia region and in retaliation for Israel’s atrocities in the Gaza Strip.

According to local sources, an explosive-laden drone struck the US-run facility in al-Shaddadi town, situated about 50 kilometers (31 miles) south of Syria’s northeastern city of Hasakah, on Sunday morning.

Earlier, combat drones had targeted the US-occupied bases in Khirbat ‘Adnan village in Hasakah province, and at the Rukban district in southeastern Syria near the Jordanian border.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, claimed responsibility for the drone strike on the US-run Ain al-Asad Air Base in Iraq’s western province of Anbar, and announced that a salvo of rockets had slammed into a military base housing US occupation force at Conoco gas field in Syria’s eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has conducted dozens of strikes on the US-run military installations in both Iraq and Syria amid growing anti-US sentiments in the region over Washington’s support for the Israeli genocidal campaign in Gaza. (ILKHA)
