The recent attacks by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq resulted in injuries to US personnel, prompting retaliatory strikes

The recent attacks carried out by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq have caused injuries to US military personnel, with 56 US personnel reported to be injured. While there were no fatalities, a private contractor died from a heart attack. The US Department of Defense has confirmed that all injured personnel are now back in service. In response, the US conducted four retaliatory strikes, the most recent one occurring one day ago. The attacks involved a combination of rockets, mortars, and drones. Although there was some uncertainty about the exact type of weapons employed, videos released by the group indicated the use of drones, 122 millimeter rockets, and possibly 120 millimeter mortars. In light of the ongoing attacks, the US has taken action to retaliate and protect its military personnel and strategic sites in both Iraq and Syria.
