Rocket Attack on Iraqi Base Injures Five U.S. Personnel Amid Rising Tensions

At least five U.S. personnel were injured in an attack on a military base in Iraq on Monday, according to U.S. officials. The incident occurred as tensions in the Middle East remained high following the recent deaths of senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah.

Two Katyusha rockets targeted the al Asad airbase in western Iraq, with one rocket landing inside the base, as reported by two Iraqi security sources. It is currently unclear if the attack is connected to Iran's threats of retaliation for the killing of the Hamas leader.
