In a statement, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq stated, "In response to the crimes committed by the enemy against our people in Gaza, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted the American occupation base in Conoco oil field in Syria with a missile barrage, hitting its targets directly."
In a subsequent statement, the Resistance announced the targeting of the US occupation base Ain al-Assad in western Iraq with a missile barrage, confirming a direct hit on its target.
Iraq's Green Zone hit by rockets
Earlier, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that several rockets were launched at Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses the US Embassy, during the early hours of Friday.
In further detail, an Iraqi military official said as quoted by AFP that three rockets targeted the vicinity of the US Embassy located in the Green Zone in Baghdad on Friday morning.
The official, who preferred not to disclose his identity, stated, "We are awaiting official information about the nature of the attack."
The US forces under fire amid Gaza genocide
Earlier, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced, on December 6, that it targeted the US occupation base of Ain al-Assad in al-Anbar Governorate in western Iraq, in response to Israeli war crimes in Gaza and the US backing of the Israeli occupation.
At the time, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that a drone attack targeted US forces at Harir base in Erbil Governorate, which was later claimed by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
It is worth noting that a Pentagon official said, on December 3, that US forces and the international coalition were attacked at least 76 times in Iraq and Syria since the start of Operation al-Aqsa Flood on October 7.
The US and international occupation forces came under fire from the Islamic Resistance in the region as the latter shows solidarity with the people of Gaza and all of occupied Palestine, while the US continues to funnel in weapons and equipment to the Israeli occupation.
The Resistance in Iraq affirmed, on December 3, that it would remain steadfast in its confrontations against its enemies, promising to intensify its attacks against the US occupation forces, until they leave "expelled, humiliated, and defeated from" Iraq.
