All of the attacks are believed to have been carried out by Iran-backed militias in the region: the Houthis in Yemen, and the Islamic Front for the Iraqi Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spike in attacks against US forces and personnel coincides with Israel\u2019s escalation in the Gaza Strip, which comes in retaliation to a Hamas attack on Oct. 5 in southern Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the source in the Global Coalition stated that the two drones were shot down before reaching their target at the US base, the statement attributed to the Islamic Front for the Iraqi Resistance claimed that the drones had &#8220;directly hit their targets.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Hozan
