The Secretary General of the Badr Organization in Iraq, Hadi Al-Amiri stated Monday that "It is time for the (US-led) international coalition forces to leave Iraq, as there is no longer a need or justification for their presence."

Al-Amiri added that as long as they were present "no one expects to build the military capabilities of the Iraqi army and other security institutions."

He expressed his belief that it was "shameful" for some to suggest that US troops remain in the country under the pretext of helping the Iraqi security forces, particularly after the great achievements of the Iraqi military and resistance in their battle against ISIS.

The secretary-general expressed that the Iraqi government must take all necessary measures to reach a specific and short-term exit schedule for the international coalition forces in Iraq, without procrastination.

He remarked that the targeting of the Ain al-Asad and Harir bases of US troops was a "natural reaction" towards the US and its bias towards the Zionist entity while it committed war crimes against the people of Gaza.

Al-Amiri stressed that such war crimes will remain a disgrace for the Zionist entity and those who stand with it, while he directed a greeting of "respect and honor" to the people of Palestine, particularly those in Gaza.

He also paid tribute to “the heroic Palestinian resistance that broke the Zionist enemy’s power and defeated the army that was said to be invincible,” and also to “the fathers, mothers, sisters, and wives of martyrs"  who were patient and persevered on the path to victory,” assuring them that “victory will inevitably come.”

Meanwhile, a security source confirmed to Al Mayadeen that the Ain al-Asad air base was targeted by 4 missiles on Monday evening.

In addition, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced on Sunday morning, that it successfully targeted the al-Shadadi US occupation base in al-Hasakah countryside, eastern Syria.

At midnight between 28 and 29 October, Al Mayadeen's sources confirmed that the US occupation base in al-Omar oil field east of Deir Ezzor in Syria came under attack, leading to explosions inside the base. The sources added that the sounds of explosions were heard in surrounding areas. It is worth noting that the base has been the target of several attacks recently.

On Friday, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that a strike targeted the base itself. 

It is important to note that "Israel" has been warned by various groups coordinating together as part of the Axis of Resistance that in the event of a ground invasion into the Gaza Strip, the war will expand to entail multiple fronts, noting that all US bases in the region will also be prone to attacks.

5,000 US troops engaged in Israeli ground operation in Gaza: Tasnim

Around 5,000 US military forces are engaging in the "expanded" Israeli "ground operation" launched in Gaza on Friday night, security sources told Tasnim, adding that the operation involved three divisions and several brigades. 

Earlier, Tasnim reported that the US military commanders took charge of the situation in the Israeli army after the Israeli leaders lost all faith in the abilities of their personnel following the humiliating defeat in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

While the Gaza Strip experienced on Friday the heaviest bombardment since the beginning of Israeli aggression 22 days ago, the Israeli army attempted to enter the Gaza Strip from several fronts, including al-Bureij, Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, and north of Khan Yunis. Their strategic goal was to split the Gaza Strip into two or three sections and cut off all means of communication in the area before launching the "next stage of the war." 

It is worth noting that a few days earlier, The Wall Street Journal reported that "Israel's" ground invasion of the Gaza Strip would be delayed to give the United States the chance to transfer additional air defense systems into the Middle East.
