Abu Ali Al-Askari, the head of the security office of the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades, confirmed Sunday that the Brigades did not exchange fire with the Americans last week in Iraq or Syria.
Al-Askari pointed out that rumors about a recent exchange of fire between the brigades and the Americans are no more than a justification for some sides' failure to protect their occupying forces, in reference to the US occupation.
He considered that some sides accused the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades of the recent bombing to create justifications, adding that if these sides dare and bomb somewhere, disaster will befall them.
The Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades official stressed the need to expel the Turkish forces in two phases; the first from the advanced bases and the second by clearing the border areas of their mercenaries.
Abu Ali Al-Askari stressed that the Resistance and its allies are able to expel the Turkish forces of aggression from Iraq.
It is noteworthy that on August 25, Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that the Turkish-operated Zlikan military base in Bashiqa, east of Nineveh Governorate, was targeted by a salvoe of rockets.
The rockets were launched from the city of Mosul, and no information was received about any casualties as a result of the attack.

In July, the Iraqi government sent a letter to the United Nations Security Council saying that Baghdad documented more than 22,740 violations committed by the Turkish armed forces.
The Iraqi Foreign Ministry said, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a letter of complaint to the Security Council and requested it to hold an emergency session to discuss the Turkish aggression."
