Tehran, IRNA -- Iraqi resistance groups have conducted new attacks on US military bases in that country as well as neighboring Syria as anger boils in the region over the US-backed Israeli war on Gaza.
The Islamic Resistance announced on Wednesday night that it had hit a US base near Erbil's airport in the northern Kurdistan Region, according to Al Jazeera.
There was no immediate report of possible casualties or damage.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Iraqi Islamic Resistance hit a US military base in the Koniko gas field in eastern Syria with missiles, leaving causalities among American forces.
Resistance groups based in Iraq have repeatedly hit US bases on Iraqi and Syrian territories with missiles and drones over the past weeks in retaliation for the Israeli regime's crimes against Palestinians in Gaza.
The groups are also outraged at the US military presence in the region, which they see as a source of instability, as well as Washington's support for the Israeli regime in its ongoing war on Gaza.
