[Regnum] Since October 17, US troops at bases in Syria and Iraq have been attacked 73 times, a Pentagon spokesman said on CNN on November 24 .
On Thanksgiving Day alone, which is celebrated in the United States on November 23, there were four attacks on military personnel. It is stated that there were no casualties or damage.
During this period, US forces were attacked 37 times in Syria and 36 in Iraq.
The attacks began after conflict in the Middle East escalated. There are currently almost 900 US military personnel in Syria, and about 2.5 thousand are stationed in Iraq.
The Pentagon says it has contained any escalatory moves that could widen the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, despite continued attacks on US forces.
As Regnum reported , the US Department of Defense is concerned that the strategy chosen by the White House to counter attacks on American bases in the Middle East is not yielding results. The number of attacks on the military is growing, The Washington Post noted.
The Lebanese TV channel Al-Mayadeen reported on November 13 that Americans were killed as a result of strikes in eastern Syria. US military personnel at the Koniko oil field became victims of a missile attack.
In addition, in northeastern Syria in Hasakah, three drones attacked the American al-Shaddadi base.
In total, the Pentagon has 24 military bases and four points in Syria.
