U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Syria have come under four new rounds of rocket and drone attacks from suspected Iran-backed terror groups in the past day, despite a U.S. airstrike intended to dissuade such attacks.
At a Thursday press briefing, Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh confirmed U.S. troops in the Middle East were accosted by rockets and explosive one-way drones 46 separate times since Oct. 17, including 24 attacks in Iraq and 22 in Syria. She said at least 56 U.S. service members have been injured in these attacks.
