This is not the first time the Iraqi Resistance targets US bases. Earlier in the day, the Islamic Resistance claimed responsibility for the attack on the US occupation's al-Tanf base in Syria and other US occupation bases near al-Rukban camp.

The Islamic Resistance revealed that the offensives were carried out with drones that caused severe damage after they directly hit their targets.

The Resistance also announced that its fighters conducted a drone strike on the US occupation's al-Malikiyah base in Syria.
