There have been at least 130 attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria by groups falling under the umbrella of the “resistance axis” supported by Iran since the start of the conflict in Gaza, according to a report by the Lebanon-based outlet Al Mayadeen, Al Jazeera reports.

The media network, which is aligned with Hezbollah, quoted an unnamed US official as saying the number consists of 53 attacks in Iraq and 77 in Syria. The US has maintained bases and troops in both countries with the stated goal of combating a resurgence of ISIL (ISIS) forces.

The report comes a day after the Islamic Resistance in Iraq umbrella group of US-opposed forces claimed a rocket attack on a US base in Syria. The group has also claimed to have launched rockets and missiles directly at Israel multiple times, but no damage has been reported.

The group has said the attacks are aimed at combating US “occupation” in Iraq and US-backed Israeli attacks on Gaza.
