An escalating series of U.S. military airstrikes against sites linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, in Syria, have failed to stop further attacks against American forces in the region.
The Pentagon announced on Sunday that it had attacked a training facility and a safe house in Syria in response to a surge in drone and rocket attacks against U.S. troops since Oct. 17. That strike followed a hit on an ammo dump just days before.
Militias associated with the IRGC had been using the safehouse as a headquarters, and some of their members may have been killed by Sunday’s airstrike on the building, according to the Washington Post, which cited an unnamed senior defense official.
Since both U.S. airstrikes on Sunday, American troops in Syria have been attacked four additional times, a defense official told Task & Purpose. Three of those attacks occurred on Sunday and the most recent attack took place on Monday, Eastern Standard Time.
