The Islamic Resistance in Iraq confirmed that its fighters targeted the US occupation base in the al-Omar oil field in Syria using drones.

On Saturday, the Islamic Resistance said it targeted the US base in Kharab al-Jir in Syria, as well as the Harir base in Erbil, northern Iraq, with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

This comes a couple of of days after the US initiated a series of strikes overnight, targeting entities that the US Central Command (CENTCOM) alleges to be affiliated with the IRGC and its allies.

According to CENTCOM, US forces struck more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria with numerous aircraft, including long-range bombers that were said to have taken off from the US.

The attack is said to be a response to an operation that targeted a US military base and killed three US troops in Jordan earlier this week.

According to CENTCOM, US forces struck more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria with numerous aircraft, including long-range bombers that were said to have taken off from the United States.

In Syria, the attacks led to the killing of several civilians and soldiers, injuring others, as well as causing significant material damage, as per a Syrian military statement. The US aggression on Iraq resulted in the martyrdom of 16 people, including Iraqi soldiers and civilians.

During the funeral procession of the martyrs who were killed in the recent American aggression on Iraq, the chief of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), Falih al-Fayyad, vowed that the "blatantly rude" attack "will not pass heedlessly."

Al-Fayyad urged the Iraqi Parliament and political forces to take a clear stance against the aggression, which "crossed red lines," and highlighted the necessity of "cleansing" Iraq from all foreign military presence.
