A U.S. base in Iraq came under fire Saturday and an Israeli strike in Syria killed five members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard in the country, in the latest signs that the war in Gaza is spreading across the region.
Multiple ballistic missiles hit Al-Asad Airbase, causing minor injuries among U.S. and coalition personnel and severely wounding an Iraqi Security Forces service member, said a U.S. defense official. Some of the missiles were intercepted by air defense systems.
The Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq took responsibility for barrage.
The attack occurred hours after a strike on a residential building in Damascus, according to the Syrian news agency SANA. The strike, which both Iran and Syria blamed on Israel, is one of many directed in recent weeks at increasingly aggressive Iranian-backed groups that Tehran has used to project power in the Middle East.
