Pentagon says US, coalition forces were attacked 23 times in Iraq, Syria in past 2 weeks
Two US senior defense officials briefing reporters at the Pentagon say that from Oct. 17 to Oct. 30, US and coalition forces have been attacked at least 14 times in Iraq and nine times in Syria by a mix of drones and rockets for a total of 23 attacks.
The officials say many of the drones and rockets were intercepted and failed to reach their targets.
Bases housing US troops in Syria and Iraq have come under rocket and drone attacks over the past weeks as tensions rise in the region over the Israel-Hamas war.
