As the Pentagon has warned of the uptick of attacks on American troops stationed in the Middle East and deployed naval assets to the region, there have been six attacks in 24 hours and more than 50 in the past month, according to reports.
"The U.S. Department of Defense has announced that the number of American Troops who have suffered Injuries over the last month as a result of the Non-Strop Attacks by Iranian-Backed Militias on U.S. Bases in Iraq and Syria has now Risen to at least 46, with 2 of the Soldiers having to be Airlifted to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany for Observation related to a Head Injury following one of the Attacks," an open source intelligence monitor X account posted Monday night.
The attacks are the latest in a series on U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria as tensions soar in the Middle East over the Israel-Hamas war. The defense system at a military base near the airport successfully defended against the drones, the statement said. There were no casualties or damage to infrastructure, a U.S. Defense Department official said.
