Fifty-nine U.S. troops have been injured in 56 attacks on American assets in Iraq and Syria since Oct. 17, the Pentagon confirmed on Tuesday.
Twenty-seven of those suffered traumatic brain injuries, Fox News reported.
On Sunday, the United States struck two Iran-linked sites in Syria in response to the attacks on American forces, according to U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
It was the third time in as many weeks that the U.S. military had targeted locations in Syria it said were tied to Iran, whose terror proxies have upped their attacks on American forces in the Middle East since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7.
