The U.S. military carried out airstrikes in Iraq and Syria on Sunday — days after a U.S. defense contractor was killed at a military compound in a rocket attack.
Military jet fighters conducted "precision defensive strikes" on five sites of Kataeb Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Iraqi militia, Jonathan Hoffman, a spokesperson for the Pentagon told Fox News. Two defense officials added that Air Force F-15 jet fighters carried out the strikes.
U.S. officials have blamed the militia for a rocket barrage Friday that killed a U.S. defense contractor, wounded four U.S. troops and two members of the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) near Kirkuk, in northern Iraq.
Military forces said the attackers fired more than 30 rockets in Friday's assault — the 11th rocket attack on U.S. and Iraqi forces since late October, according to a U.S. defense official.

Napalm
The rockets were Katushyas, fired in retaliation for our attacks last night.
............
We hit the HQ of Iraqi Kata’ib Hezbollah militia in Qaim in west Anbar Province. Among those killed was commander of 45th Brigade.
...........
Confirmed that we are evacuating civilian employees of our embassy in Baghdad.
Time to go George Patton on the bastards.
More napalm...
Our embassy is under a serious threat.
.............
The outgoing Iraqi PM appointed PMF (Hashd) Operations Officer as responsible for Green Zone security at recommendation of Qasim Soleimani of Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
............
Iranian led Iraqi shia militias are now in charge of our embassy security. There is going to be trouble.
........
I don’t see how we can avoid war with Iran.
I believe that’s the only thing Iran backed terrorists understand.
I believe that’s the only thing Iran backed terrorists understand.
Maybe it’s time to go Curtis LeMay on the bastards.
Like Saint George Patton said: Grease our tank treads with them.
Rules of Engagement have changed. They don’t have an ally in the White House anymore.
LeMay from the Air, Patton from the ground.
It’s sooooooooo... AMERICAN.
I love it.
Maybe it’s time to admit that Saddam Hussein was the best defense against Iran, and go airlift every person within 10 branches of George W. Bush on his family tree over there to fix the fiasco he created.
Maybe so.
FAE AND even more NAPALM then leave.
Biggest mistake ever in ending a weapons program: The Neutron Bomb. Kills everyone, destroys very little, radiation decays very fast.
Thank you George W Bush.
Wish to hell somebody would have done that after the October 1983 Beirut bombing. Cap Weinberger went soft and backed RWR off from bombing the crap out of the IRGC barracks in Baalbek.
I hear you. But we can’t do anything about that now.
This, however.... this incident SHOULD result in the immolation of a few hundred of the ragheaded bastards. And probably will, with Trump at the helm.
Yes, the cat is now way out of the bag. There will be hell to play to put it back. And I do agree that Trump is capable of doing much better in this regard.
And an extra thanks to Barry Obama for funding these attacks, if even indirectly.

So the legacy from the depleted Uranium we have given Iraq isn’t enough?
If I was the parent of one of these poor children,I would curse America to the lowest circle of hell.
