*Al Mayadeen* sources reported today that two Israeli soldiers were killed,
and 3 others were wounded, as a result of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon
targeting the "Hanita" military outpost on the Lebanese-Palestinian border,
this afternoon.

The Islamic Resistance had reported that its fighters, at 3:25 pm today

Wednesday, targeted the "Hanita" and Al-Bahri sites with guided missiles,
confirming that “a number of their technical equipment were destroyed.

In another context, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced today,
Wednesday, that its fighters targeted the American occupation base at “Abu
Hajar Airport - Kharab al-Jir” in northeastern Syria, with a missile
barrage, for the second time in recent hours.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for an operation
targeting US occupation “Abu Hajar Airport - Kharab al-Jir” in northeast
Syria with rockets, the group said in a statement on Wednesday, confirming
direct hits.

Since day one of the launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, in response to the
Israeli crimes against Palestinians and their holy sites, US President
Biden announced "unwavering" support to the entity and immediately signed
off on increased military assistance delivered daily.

This measure was a public admission of complicity in all Israeli crimes
against civilians in Gaza, which has resulted in the martyrdom of over
6,700 civilians, most of whom are children, women, and the elderly.

In response, Iraqi Resistance factions declared that all US bases within
reach had become legitimate targets, especially those in Iraq. "We will not
stand idly by in the face of the ongoing genocide against Palestinians in
Gaza," the factions pledged earlier this week.

Earlier this morning, Al Mayadeen sources said that Kharab al-Jir airport
was targeted with artillery shellings and rockets.

Washington admitted on Wednesday
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us-admits-24-soldiers-wounded-in-attacks-on-iraq-syria-bases>
that, so far, 30 American military personnel have been wounded in the
attacks, which have been ongoing for 9 consecutive days.
