The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced Monday that its Resistance fighters attacked four US occupation bases in Iraq and Syria in six separate attacks.

The US occupation's Ain al-Assad base in Western Iraq was attacked three times, with another attack targeting the US occupation's base near the Erbil International Airport.

The US occupation's Tel Bider base in northern Syria and Al-Tanf in southern Syria were the subjects of the remainder of the attacks.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq made an announcement declaring that they put Al-Aqsa 1 medium-range missile into service, saying it was launched at the US occupation's bases in Iraq and Syria.

"In the context of responding to the Zionist occupation's crimes in its aggression on Gaza under US diktats and administration, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq reveals Monday, and for the first time, the putting into the medium range Aqsa 1 into service, wherein it was launched at US occupation bases in Iraq and Syria in some of its operations. Allah’s Will always prevails," the statement read.

The missile looks to be precision-guided from the fins on the front section. An analysis of the dimensions apparent in the photo shows that the missile bears similarities with Iran's Fath-360 missile, which has a range of 120 km, a warhead of 150 kg, and a diameter of 360 mm.

An Al Mayadeen correspondent reported earlier on Monday that a kamikaze drone targeted the US base north of Al-Hasakah, northeast Syria.

On Friday, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced that it “will begin next week a new phase in confronting the enemies, in support of Palestine, and in revenge for the martyrs", stressing that it will be "tougher and broader against the enemy’s bases in the region."
