The attacks on US bases in Iraq and Syria are in response to the ongoing genocide against Palestinians.

The US forces in al-Shadadi occupation base in al-Hasakah, Syria, came under rocket attack, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

It was later confirmed, by Al Mayadeen's sources, that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq was responsible for the attack against American occupation forces in al-Shadadi.

The attack came shortly after the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced that its Resistance fighters targeted the US occupation Ain al-Assad base in western Iraq, early on Thursday, with drones in a fresh attack, Mehr News agency reported.

This comes as the US Central Command told NBC News, on Tuesday, that 24 US soldiers have been wounded as a result of the attacks targeting its occupation bases in Syria and Iraq over the past week.

According to a report by NBC News, the US servicemen were wounded on October 18 following the drone attack on al-Tanf occupation military base in southeastern Syria, where reportedly 20 soldiers were wounded. Moreover, the attack on Ain al-Assad occupied airbase in western Iraq on the same night resulted in four more injuries, as well as material damage.

US set to deploy air defense systems to protect regional interests

As the tension across the Arab world intensifies and given that US interests have been directly threatened if a regional war explodes, the United States has sought to deploy about a dozen air defense systems.

According to The Wall Street Journal, which referenced US defense officials, the US military has been seeking to deploy at least 12 air defense systems prior to the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza that has been allegedly anticipated to take place later this month.

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 be in the crosshairs.

The US Defense Department has allegedly brought forth, from Fort Bliss, Texas, a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery for use against ballistic missiles to be stationed in Saudi Arabia. 

Moreover, at least 11 MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missile systems were transferred from both Fort Liberty, North Carolina, and Fort Sill, Oklahoma to be stationed in Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
