The resistance in Iraq confirmed on Wednesday that its forces have successfully targeted US troops stationed at Erbil's International Airport. 

They have also confirmed that the Ain al-Assad occupation base in Western Iraq has been attacked along the US occupation base in Conoco field in Syria.

The Iraqi Resistance operations against US occupation bases were carried out using drones and rockets. 

On Tuesday, the resistance reported the successful attack on the Ain al-Assad base twice. 

Both attacks were executed separately using drones. 

The resistance reiterated that the operations are being carried out in response to the continued occupation of Iraqi territories by US forces and US complicity in the Gaza genocide.

On Monday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that US occupation forces in Syria were attacked twice within hours as missiles struck the US occupation's Conico gas field base.

The following day, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin confirmed that US military forces carried out, at President Joe Biden’s direction, what he called "necessary and proportionate" strikes on three Kataib Hezbollah and other Iraqi Resistance groups facilities in Iraq.

"These precision strikes are in direct response to a series of escalatory attacks against U.S. and Coalition personnel in Iraq and Syria," Austin mentioned in a release.

"We do not seek to escalate the conflict in the region," but "are fully prepared to take further measures to protect our people and our facilities," the US defense chief added.

US Central Command claimed the strikes targeted Kataib Hezbollah's "headquarters, storage, and training locations for rocket, missile, and one-way attack UAV (drone) capabilities."

One resistance fighter was martyred as a result of subsequent US aggressions.

Since October 17, 2023, the resistance has carried out a total of 151 operations on US occupation forces, resulting in approximately 70 injuries to US troops, the Pentagon reports. 

The scope of Iraqi operations has recently expanded to include Israeli targets.

On January 7th, the Iraqi resistance targeted a vital site in Israeli-occupied Haifa. The operation was conducted using the now-revealed "al-Arqab" upgraded long-range cruise missile.

On January 17, US occupation forces have evacuated the Hemo base in the countryside of the city of Qamishli, north of Hasakah, as a result of repeated attacks on this base by the Iraqi resistance.
