“Between Oct. 17-18 (ET), twenty-one U.S. personnel received minor injuries due to drone attacks at Al Assad Airbase, Iraq and Al-Tanf Garrison, Syria,” Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement.
Ryder confirmed all members returned to duty, but added in some cases service members can report injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, several days after attacks occur so that the number could change.
Last week, Iran’s proxy forces launched attacks against the U.S. bases amid air strikes and preparations for Israel’s ground invasion into Gaza against Hamas, after Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,400 in an attack targeting Jews in southern Israel on October 7. Several hundred were reportedly kidnapped, including Americans.
