The attacks took place after the US military struck the positions of the armed group Hezbollah.
Missiles and drones attacked American troops in Iraq and Syria four times on Thursday, November 23. There were no casualties or damage. This was reported by Reuters in connection with an American military official.
He said American and international forces were attacked in two areas in northeastern Syria with missiles and drones.
In Iraq, several drones were fired at the Ain al-Asad airbase west of Baghdad. A drone was also launched towards a base near Erbil airport in northern Iraq where US forces are stationed.
A group calling itself the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has claimed attacks on these sites.
The attacks came a day after the United States carried out a strike on positions of the Iran-linked Hezbollah militant group south of Baghdad that the group said killed eight of its members. The Iraqi government condemned the attack as an aggravation and a violation of sovereignty.
The US has hit Iran-linked groups after escalating militant attacks targeting US and international forces dozens of times since October 17, ten days after the war between Israel and Hamas began . As of November 23, 36 attacks were recorded in Iraq and 37 in Syria.
When the war between Israel and Hamas began on October 7, the United States sent warships and fighter jets to the region, including two aircraft carriers, to try to contain the Iran- and Tehran-backed groups.
