“The attacks targeted a training center and facility near the towns of Albu Kamal and Mayadeen,” it said.
On Wednesday (8) the United States attacked a Tehranlinked arms depot in Syria, and on October 26 it also attacked two facilities in the country allegedly used by Iran and affiliated organizations.
Washington says the series of operations is in response to repeated attacks on American forces in Iraq and Syria more than 45 since October 17 that have injured dozens of American personnel.
The increase in attacks on American troops in recent weeks is linked to the war between Israel and Hamas, which began when the Palestinian Islamist group carried out an incursion from the Gaza Strip on October 7 that killed around 1,200 people, according to Israeli authorities people were killed.
The Israeli army responded with a relentless air, land and sea assault on Gaza that resulted in the deaths of more than 11,100 people, according to the territory’s health ministry, prompting criticism of Washington from Iranianbacked groups.
Around 2,500 US soldiers are stationed in Iraq and around 900 in Syria to prevent the resurgence of the Islamic State terrorist militia.
