They noted that the number of casualties could change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two Katyusha rockets were launched at the airbase, according to two Iraqi security sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One source indicated that the rockets landed inside the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Base personnel are conducting a post-attack damage assessment,&#8221; one of the officials added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attack on Monday night was similar to earlier attacks by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, which have targeted the base frequently since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attack came as tension surges in the region after the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, in Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran threatened to avenge against Israel, whom they blame for Haniyeh&#8217;s killing. Israel has not taken responsibility for the killing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This incident, along with the assassination of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr by an Israeli strike in Beirut, has raised concerns about the conflict in Gaza escalating into a broader Middle East war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran also criticized the U.S. for supporting Israel, claiming it bears responsibility for Haniyeh&#8217;s assassination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Ster Youssef<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Several American soldiers were injured late on Monday in a rocket attack on a base housing U.S. troops in the western desert of Iraq.
