Four US troops injured in rocket attack on base in Syria

Four American troops are being treated for minor injuries and evaluated for traumatic brain injury after a Thursday indirect fire attack on the Green Village base in eastern Syria, according to a release from Operative Inherent Resolve.

Two rockets hit two support buildings, the release said.


An earlier report from the Associated Press said that two service members had been treated and returned to duty.

The base was previously attacked in January, with eight rockets landing inside the perimeter.

I forget. Why are our soldiers there?
