According to the Pentagon, since the implementation of a truce between "Israel" and the Palestinian Resistance, the frequent targeting of US bases in Syria and Iraq has come to a halt.

Pentagon Spokesperson Brigadier General Pat Ryder told journalists, “There have been no attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria since November 23, since the operational pause began."

The most recent attacks on US military bases in Iraq and Syria prior to the truce pushed the number of operations against US military assets in the Middle East to 73 since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, an unnamed US official told CNN.

The latest attacks saw the Iraqi Resistance launch suicide drones at US targets located in the Ain al-Assad and Erbil airbases in Iraq. A barrage of rockets also targeted the US occupation base in al-Omar oil field, which preceded an attack on the US occupation's Green Village base in Syria.

CNN said these attacks marked at least 73 operations against US forces in the region from a period ranging from October 17 to November 24. Most of the operations were claimed by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.

Meanwhile, on November 26, the Secretary-General of the Iraqi Kataib Hezbollah, Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi, announced a reduction in the pace of operations against the US occupation bases in the region, until the end of the declared truce that has been implemented between “Israel” and the Gaza Strip.

Al-Hamidawi said the confrontations with the forces occupying Iraq will not stop until it is liberated, stressing that this is "a decision from which we [the Resistance in Iraq] will not deviate, no matter how heavy the sacrifices are."

The surge in attacks on US occupation forces in the Middle East ignited growing concerns within the Defense Department and raised questions about the US strategy of maintaining its foothold in the region, as well as countering Resistance groups exerting their right to self-determination.

US officials voiced their dismay with the "incoherent" approach and limited attacks on the Resistance groups practically telling Washington to leave the region alone as US President Joe Biden authorized airstrike after airstrike that seemed to not do so much as to decrease the pace of Resistance operations, The Washington Post reported.
