Al Mayadeen’s sources reported on Sunday that a drone belonging to Iraqi resistance factions targeted the Kharab al-Jir US occupation military base in the countryside of al-Hasakah in Syria with two shells.

Our correspondent also mentioned that the Rmelan US occupation base in northeastern Syria came under a drone attack. Later, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for the attack.

Earlier on Saturday, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced that it had targeted, using drones, the Harir US occupation base in Iraqi Kurdistan’s Erbil in response to the ongoing massacres committed by the Israeli entity against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

In a statement, the Iraqi Resistance emphasized that this operation is part of its ongoing strategy to Resist the US occupation forces in Iraq and the region, vowing to continue “strikes against the enemy’s strongholds.”

Moreover, Al Mayadeen’s sources revealed that in Syria, the US occupation base in the Conoco oil field was targeted with five rockets, while the one in al-Omar oil field was targeted with seven.

The Iraqi Resistance has consistently affirmed its commitment to targeting the US occupation due to Washington’s support for the Israeli occupation and its pivotal role in the ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip. The Resistance has warned Washington repeatedly that its bases in Syria and Iraq are legitimate targets as long as the war on Gaza continues.

In the past week, the Islamic Resistance announced carrying out several separate operations against the US occupation bases, including the al-Shadadi, Kharab al-Jir, and Conoco bases in Syria.

Furthermore, the group has claimed responsibility for several operations against Israeli sites and bases, most recently targeting a vital target in the “Eliad” settlement in the southern occupied Golan Heights, an Israeli technical espionage center near Erbil, and the Israeli-operated Karish gas field off the northern coasts of occupied Palestine, near the Lebanese maritime borders.

It is noteworthy that since the launch of operations in October, US occupation military bases across Syria and Iraq have come under over 110 attacks.
