"Fort Drum Soldiers Face Modern Warfare Attacks in Iraq and Syria"
U.S. forces, including soldiers from Fort Drum, are being targeted in Iraq and Syria as a result of the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The attacks, carried out through rockets and unmanned suicide drones, have caused injuries to at least 45 service members since mid-October. The groups behind the attacks are supported by Iran and its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Efforts to combat these attacks involve electronic warfare through jamming signals and disrupting GPS guidance. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a surprise visit to Iraq to discuss the attacks and seek assistance from the Iraqi government in cracking down on them.
