Iraqi resistance vows to ‘surprise’ enemy inside, outside Iraq after attacking Ain al-Assad
A major Iraqi resistance group has claimed responsibility for a strike on the US-occupied Ain al-Assad Airbase in the west of the Arab country, saying it would launch further attacks that will “surprise” the enemy.
Haider al-Lami, a member of the political office of the Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, made the remarks on Tuesday, after a rocket strike wounded five US personnel at Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq’s western province of Anbar last week.
"In the coming days, we will witness unprecedented attacks by the Iraqi resistance, which will surprise the enemy inside and outside of Iraq," he said.
On August 15, three explosions were heard near Ain al-Asad airbase, leaving five US military personnel wounded.
Iraqi resistance groups have vowed to continue their operations against military bases, where American military forces are stationed.
Iraqi resistance forces have conducted dozens of strikes on the US-run military installations in both Iraq and Syria amid growing anti-US sentiments in the region over Washington’s support for Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza, which has so far killed over 40,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
There are nearly 2,500 American troops in Iraq and some 900 in Syria as part of, what Washington claims to be, a fighting force against Daesh.
The US has maintained its presence, although the Arab countries and their allies defeated the Takfiri terrorist group in late 2017.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has also been launching attacks on Israeli targets ever since the occupying regime started the genocidal war on Gaza.
On Monday, it carried out new operations against Israeli military targets on the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.
Also on Tuesday, the umbrella group of resistance factions said it had targeted the regime’s military site in the occupied Umm al-Rashrash also known as Eilat.
