"Baghdad Drone Strike Eliminates High-Ranking Commander Linked to Attack on US Soldiers"

A US drone strike in Baghdad killed three members of the Kataib Hezbollah militia, including a high-ranking commander linked to a recent attack that killed three US soldiers in Jordan. The strike targeted a "high-value individual" on a main thoroughfare in eastern Baghdad, and is seen as retaliation for the attack in Jordan. Tensions between the US and Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Syria have escalated, with the US blaming the Islamic Resistance in Iraq for the attack and suspecting Kataib Hezbollah's involvement.
