Sabrina Singh said at a news conference on Tuesday evening that the country's army forces were attacked at least 40 times between October 17 and November 7, 22 times in Iraq and 18 times in Syria, Anadolu News Agency reported. The US Department of Defense Deputy Press Secretary continued: We have seen an increase in attacks, but so far there has not been significant damage to our infrastructure. Singh also stated that the total number of US military personnel injured in these attacks is 46, adding that these attacks involve a combination of attack drones and missiles. Following the intensification of attacks by the Zionist regime on the Gaza Strip, US bases in various parts of Iraq and Syria have come under attack in recent days, with dozens of US soldiers wounded in the attacks. The continuation of these attacks forced the American occupiers to withdraw two-thirds of their military and "civilian" personnel from Iraq in just one week, in addition to the departure of the ambassador and key personnel. On Tuesday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced in a statement that since October 7, 10,328 Palestinians, including 4,237 children, have died as a result of Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip.
