The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, which is an umbrella group of the country's anti-terror fighters, says it has targeted two US bases in eastern Syria and western Iraq in new strikes on the American occupation forces, reports Press TV.
It said in a late Sunday statement that the US military base near Syria’s al-Khazra village was hit with a barrage of missiles.
The resistance forces also carried out a drone attack on the American forces based in Ain al-Asad Airbase in the western Iraqi province of al-Anbar.
The retaliatory attacks came after an earlier statement by the Iraqi resistance said five of its fighters had been killed in a US airstrike on their base in northern Iraq, said the statement.
It also noted that the fighters had lost their lives in the war against the United States, reaffirming the determination of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq to continue its anti-American operations until all occupying forces leave the country.
