Attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq, Jordan, and Syria during the Israel–Hamas war
Armed conflict / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Starting on 17 October 2023, and in response to United States support for Israel in the Israel–Hamas war, Iran-backed militias initiated a coordinated series of more than 170 attacks on U.S. military bases and assets in Syria, Iraq, and Jordan.[33][34][35] These attacks resulted in injuries to dozens of U.S. service members. In retaliation, the U.S. has launched multiple counterattacks, resulting in the death of over 30 militants including a senior commander of the Nujaba Movement, Mushtaq Talib al-Saidi.[23] In February 2024, following U.S. airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, militia attacks against U.S. forces were halted.[2]
