The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced its responsibility for an attack on the US occupation base in al-Shadadi, south of the Syrian city of al-Hasakah.

The US occupation base is located in the south of al-Hasakah Governate, in northeastern Syria. The Islamic Resistance's statement confirmed that its fighters successfully targeted the base with aerial attack drones.

This operation follows several operations executed on Wednesday, including two attacks on US bases in al-Tanf and al-Rukban camp in Syria, which the Islamic Resistance in Iraq executed, according to an earlier statement.

Additionally, Al Mayadeen's correspondent verified that the US occupation military base situated in the Conoco gas field, positioned on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River in the Syrian governorate of Deir Ezzor, was targeted on two separate occasions within the span of less than an hour on Wednesday.

The Resistance shared on Wednesday footage of an operation that involved the targeting of Ain al-Assad occupation base. The operation was conducted on December 11 via attack drones.

Importantly, Iraqi Resistance factions have made it explicitly clear that US occupation bases in the region will be subject to continuous attacks until the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip is halted.

They have also justified the attacks by shedding light on the intrinsical role that Washington has played since October 7, providing the Israeli occupation with the necessary military and political backing to commit genocide and ethnically cleanse the Palestinian people.

So far, the Resistance has conducted upward of 90 attacks on US assets in West Asia, supplementing the role of other factions in the Axis of Resistance.
