The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced on Sunday targeting three US occupation bases in Iraq and Syria using rockets and drones.
In a statement, the Iraqi Resistance mentioned that its fighters attacked with missiles the Kharab al-Jir base in the countryside of al-Hasakah province in northeastern Syria and the Conoco oil field base in eastern Deir Ezzor, eastern Syria, as well as the US occupation base in the Iraqi Kurdistan's Erbil airport.
On Saturday, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced that its fighters targeted three US occupation bases in northeastern Syria. The Resistance stated that it targeted two US occupation bases in the al-Omar oil field in Deir Ezzor, as well as a US base in the Green Village in Syria, using drones.
The Iraqi Resistance also declared targeting the US occupation base in Kharab al-Jir with a rocket barrage.
It reiterated that the targeting of US occupation bases in Iraq and the region comes in response to the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation entity against the people of the Gaza Strip, as well as due to Washington's support for the Israeli occupation and its essential role in the ongoing aggression.
Since October 17, the Resistance in Iraq has been consistently targeting US occupation bases in Iraq and Syria, pointing out that these operations come as part of their ongoing resistance against US occupation forces in the region and in response to the Israeli occupation entity's massacres against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
It is noteworthy that the Resistance's targets are not limited to US forces but also include Israeli targets. In fact, the Iraqi Resistance has claimed responsibility for several strikes on vital Israeli targets in southern occupied Palestine and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.
Speaking at the one-week anniversary of the martyrdom of Resistance leader and martyr Wissam Tawil (Hajj Jawad), today, Sunday, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Nasrallah highlighted one particular operation, in which the Islamic Resistance in Iraq launched an all-new improved long-range cruise missile at an Israeli military site in the occupied port city of Haifa.
