US occupation's Harir air base in northern Iraq
In response to Israeli crimes in Gaza, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has announced targeting the US al-Harir base.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported renewed targeting of US forces at the Harir base in northern Iraq for the third time.
In a statement, the Iraqi resistance confirmed the targeting of the base with a drone that directly hit the target.
The statement detailed that the strike was a direct response to the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against the people in Gaza for the 47th consecutive day.
This comes after the US carried out two strikes against two facilities in Iraq on Wednesday.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that the strike was in response to the Iraqi Resistance's targeting of US military bases in Syria and Iraq.
"On the morning of November 22 in Iraq, US Central Command (USCENTCOM) forces conducted discrete, precision strikes against two facilities in Iraq," CENTCOM confirmed in a statement.
"The strikes were in direct response to the attacks against US and Coalition forces by Iran and Iran-backed groups, including the one in Iraq on November 21, which involved the use of close-range ballistic missiles," the statement indicated.
The United States military conducted the attack via a heavily-armed Lockheed AC-130 gunship.
According to the Pentagon, US forces in the Middle East have been attacked 66 times since mid-October. Resistance factions in Iraq and Syria continue to support the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza and respond to the US direct involvement in "Israel's" aggression on the Strip.
Fearing Resistance strikes and potential casualties, according to Al Mayadeen's sources, the United States is reinforcing some of its occupation bases in Syria. The sources confirmed on Monday that Washington is arming itself with new weapons and equipment, primarily anti-air systems such as Avengers and THAAD, as it continues to illegally deploy additional troops in Syria.
These operations and their frequency have prompted Washington to take increased security measures, as both military bases are near the front lines with the Syrian Arab Army and its allied forces.
The Pentagon confirmed that at least 62 US troops suffered from minor injuries or traumatic brain concussions in the operations.
