The Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for targeting US forces at the Ain al-Assad base in western Iraq with a drone, confirming a direct hit.

Earlier today, the US base at al-Omar oil field northeast of Deir Ezzor, eastern Syria, was hit by rocket attacks.

Sources revealed to Al Mayadeen that the US base was targeted with six rockets fired from the desert between the cities of al-Mayadeen and al-Bukamal.

It is worth noting that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has lately claimed that the US military struck two facilities in eastern Syria allegedly used by Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups.

"The precision self-defense strikes are a response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks against US personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia groups that began on October 17," Austin said in a statement.

The rockets were launched toward the US occupation base in al-Omar oil field northeast of Deir Ezzor, eastern Syria, shortly after the airstrike, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

In the past few hours, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced targeting US forces in the vicinity of Erbil International Airport in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region using two drones, confirming direct hits.

The Pentagon has acknowledged that US forces were attacked at least 12 times in Iraq and four times in Syria last week.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq continues to target US bases in Syria and Iraq, coinciding with Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, which entered its 21st day.

Since day one of the launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, and in response to the United States declaring full support to the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, Iraqi Resistance factions declared that all US bases within reach had become legitimate targets, especially those in Iraq.

On October 18, the military spokesperson for the Iraqi Kataib Hezbollah, Jaafar al-Husseini, announced that the Iraqi Resistance has joined Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and is directing its strikes against US bases in the region.
