Drones and rockets targeted on Thursday evening the Ain al-Asad air base, which hosts US and other international forces in western Iraq, and multiple blasts were heard inside the base, two security sources said.
The Iraqi military said it closed the area around the base and started a search operation. It was not clear yet whether the attacks caused casualties or damages, said the sources.
Thursday’s attack is the third in less than 24 hours against airbases which house US troops in Iraq.
US military forces in Iraq were targeted on Wednesday in two separate drone attacks, with one causing minor injuries to a small number of troops even though the US military managed to intercept the armed drone.
Last week, Iraqi armed groups aligned with Iran threatened to target US interests with missiles and drones if Washington intervened to support Israel against Hamas in Gaza

One of the officials said the missiles were fired by Iranian-backed Houthi militants, who are engaged in an ongoing conflict in Yemen. Approximately 2-3 missiles were intercepted, according to the second official.

Trump would have given the same support , perhaps more , to Israel as Biden , this isn't an American party political problem it's a Global problem created by the attack by Hamas , the response to that attack and the effect it's having on the innocent men , women and children of Gaza.
Putin and Iran are rubbing their hands together , all their dreams are coming true , Israel are pulling us into a hole and our politicians are blindly walking toward it.

Why do we still have troops in Iraq?
This is ridiculous.
