US Air Force attacks five targets of Hizbullah Battalion terrorist near Iraq-Syria border • Al Jazeera network reported three fatalities • Among facilities attacked: headquarters and IDF warehouse • US military killed on missile attack on Friday US in the country

  • Hezbollah militia militants march in Iraq

First US response to Iran's provocation in Iraq: The US Department of Defense announced Sunday (Sunday) that US Air Force planes have attacked several targets of the Hezbollah Battalion Terrorist organization, around al-Qa'im in Iraq and across the border in Syria.

According to the Defense Ministry's statement, among the five sites attacked was a terrorist command and control center as well as a weapons storage facility. This is the first US response to the Iranian proxy in Iraq since the overthrow of the US drone over the Persian Gulf in June.

A spokesman for Hezbollah battalions in Iraq told media outlets in his country that "after a preliminary operation in the attacks, three people were killed and fourteen others were injured. So far, four assaults have been carried out."

Al Jazeera News reported that three Shiite militants were killed in the attack, which was apparently aimed at the Hizbullah Brigades headquarters, part of the pro-Iranian militia's al-Rashid al-Sha'abi militia.

The attack took place near al-Qayim, where two Hashhad a-Sha'abi battalions were stationed as part of the Iraqi army. The US Army-based rocket fire was fired last week.

A U.S. contractor was killed and Iraqi and American soldiers injured, during a 30-missile bombing on the United States Army in the city of Iraq in Iraq, US officials said in a report by the Associated Press. The Pentagon has confirmed the numerous reports flowing during the night. At this stage, the number of injured or their medical condition is unknown.

According to various reports, the missile struck an Iraqi base in the northern city, which hosted U.S. coalition forces around 7 p.m. If a pro-Iranian Shiite militia is behind the action, great pressure is likely to develop in the United States for response.
