US attacks on PMU leaves 1 martyred, 18 injured

TEHRAN, Dec. 26 (MNA) – The US fighter jets attacked several headquarters of Iraqi Resistance forces known as Hash A-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Units-PMU) and martyred one PMU member plus injured 18 Iraqi forces.

Security sources confirmed to Shafaq News Agency on Tuesday that American warplanes targeted the headquarters of the Popular Mobilization Forces in the "Al-Jazaer" area of the city of Hilla in central Babel Governorate.

A statement by the White House said that President Biden "directed strikes against three locations utilized by Kataib Hezbollah and affiliated groups focused specifically on unmanned aerial drone activities."

Iraqi Resistance groups have conducted attacks against US positions in Iraq and neighboring Syria ever since the Israeli regime began its war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The groups say their attacks are in retaliation for America’s support of the Israeli regime’s crimes against people in Gaza. 

After the martyrdom of Resistance commanders who led the anti-terrorism fight in Iraq and Syria, the Iraqi parliament approved a piece of legislation to call for the withdrawal of American troops from the country, a demand that the US troops have yet to meet.
