Islamic Resistance launches drone attack on US base in Erbil, Iraq
2023-12-03
[Shafaq News] The "Islamic Resistance® in Iraq", consisting of armed Shiite factions, announced early Sunday that it had launched an attack using an explosive-laden drone targeting a base for US forces at Erbil International Airport in the Kurdistan Region (KRI).

This marks the first armed operation in Iraq claimed by factions since the temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas

in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
ended, and hostilities resumed between both sides.

A statement attributed to the resistance today indicated that its fighters targeted "the US occupation base at Erbil Airport with a drone, hitting its target directly."

As of now, there has been no comment from KRI’s security authorities regarding the attack.

It is noteworthy that armed Shiite factions have escalated their attacks on military bases of the US-led Global Coalition forces in Iraq and Syria following the events of October 7th in Paleostine (Al-Aqsa Flood).
