Rising Attacks on US Troops in Middle East Leave 24 Injured

At least 24 U.S. troops have been injured in a series of attacks on their bases in Iraq and Syria over the past week, with the most significant incident occurring at the al-Tanf Garrison in Syria where 20 personnel suffered minor injuries from one-way drones. The Biden administration has withheld these details while acknowledging the heightened risk faced by service members in the Middle East due to Israel's preparations for a ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza. The attacks have raised concerns that groups supported by Iran, like Hamas, may increase their targeting of U.S. personnel in the region.
