When did that happen I've never heard of it today

Any way we lost pricious life of men who fightnig terrorism not American troops neither Israeli ones.

They were not Iraqi troops. They were not in Iraq. They are Khamenai mercenaries (Katayeb Hezbollah and Nujaba) in Syria. Good riddance. Whoever did that.

Absolutely good riddance because they fight ISIS
ISIS is a burned card you need to find something else

Tell that to Iraqis the protest is being launched by Iraq's foreign ministry.

I have no info who attacked them. It is the Iraqi you have to satisfy and troops belonged to AL-Sadar who is anti-Iran and Anti USA.

Mercenaries who serve foreign country are war criminals and traitors. These militias are the major reason why Iraq is a failed state.

Khamenai regime is no better than ISIS. The only difference between these two religious sects is that ISIS does not starve and gas kids. The number of people slaughtered by Khamenai regime is hundreds times higher than by ISIS.

Mercenaries who serve foreign country are war criminals and traitors. These militias are the major reason why Iraq is a failed state.

Currently those so called Mercenaries are the only thing saving Europe from ISIS because USA and NATO lost it's war on ISIS and these people contained ISIS any one killing them is helping ISIS. It's is your mess they are clearing. If you were so worried about them than you should have have thought twice before creating ISIS. Europe has suffered a lot because of ISIS don't make poor Europe suffer more.

We are Iraqis and we fight Terrorism on our borders not in Syria those men attacked on our border
Second you can't label Iraqis as Iranians fighting under Irans flag
Third finishing ISIS whether i n Iraq or Syria is A matter of national security that we Iraqis committed to just like you are committed to your security except that you supported by the west we are supported by the evil Iran

Its totally the opposite. They ran away from ISIS and only US intervention saved them.

Iranian regime was making terror attacks then Al Baghdadi was still in kindergarten. By the way the first suicide terror attack made by Iranian regime was directed against the Iraqi embassy in 1981. And by the way it was the first suicide terror attack ever.

Anyhow the definition of state is one authority one force. Those who join foreign country militias are war criminals and traitors. And if state tolerates such militias it is a failed state.

They ran away then they came back with American tanks military and the Apache supported them to defeat ISIS

Is that what happened or they fought ISIS with AKs and rpgs?

You know you and these arab states to the south of us are lucky while you help making the mess unfortunately our kids and men have to clean it

Those who join foreign country militias are war criminals and traitors

Sure if they fight against their own country and their own people but when they fight Terrorism to keep their country save they're not

if state tolerates such militias it is a failed state

Its not a failed state at all they just struggle to keep everything together and rebuild the country although there's a big corruption

Israel, not the US, was responsible for a strike on Syrian regime linked positions near the Iraqi border, a US official told CNN on Monday. Earlier, Syrian state media said that US-led coalition aircraft had bombed the position, causing deaths and injuries.

Asked about the reported air strikes, an Israeli military spokesperson said: "We do not comment on foreign reports."

The attack took place in al-Harra, southeast of the town of Albu Kamal, state news agency SANA said, citing a military source. SANA said the attack caused an unspecified number of deaths and injuries.

A commander in the alliance fighting alongside Damascus told Reuters that drones that were "probably American" had bombed the positions of Iraqi factions between Albu Kamal and Tanf, as well as Syrian military positions.

The commander, who is not Syrian and spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said the strike had killed and injured some Iraqi fighters but he did not give any numbers.

Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces, a grouping of mostly Iran-backed Shi'ite paramilitaries, said a US air strike on the Iraqi border with Syria killed 22 of its members and wounded 12 others.

"At 22:00 last night a US plane hit a fixed headquarters of the Popular Mobilization Forces' 45th and 46th brigades defending the border strip with Syria using two guided missiles which led to the martyrdom of 22 fighters," it said in a statement.

It demanded an explanation from the United States.

"No member of the US-led coalition carried out strikes near Albu Kamal," Major Josh Jacques, a US Central Command spokesman, told Reuters.

The US-led coalition uses air power and special forces to back an alliance of Syrian Arab and Kurdish militia fighting Islamic State northeast of Albu Kamal. US forces also are based around the Tanf crossing, southwest of the town in the Syrian desert near the borders of Iraq and Jordan.

President Bashar al-Assad's army, with the help of Iran-backed militias including Hezbollah and Iraqi groups, drove Islamic State from Albu Kamal and its environs last year but the jihadists have since staged attacks there.

The Popular Mobilisation Forces have been officially included in Iraq's governmental forces but many of them still maintain loyalties to their former leaders and political groups. They said the base that was hit was 700 meters into Syrian territory and the Syrian government was aware of their presence.

A US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the US military was concerned that Popular Mobilisation Forces could retaliate against American forces in Iraq. The official said the Pentagon was going out of its way to publicly make clear that it was not involved in the strike in order to minimize the risk of retaliation.

The United States acknowledges that it has about 5,200 troops in Iraq that are part of a coalition fighting Islamic State militants.

"OCCUPYING FORCES"

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor, said unidentified planes had struck Lebanon's Shi'ite Hezbollah and other allied foreign militias around Albu Kamal.

The UK-based Observatory said the strikes had killed 52 people. Reuters could not independently verify the Observatory's report of casualties.

Throughout Syria's seven-year war, Israel has carried out scores of strikes within the neighboring country against what it describes as Hezbollah or Iranian targets.

Israel, alarmed about the clout of arch enemies Iran and Hezbollah, has pressed Russia, Assad's other key ally, to make sure Tehran does not entrench its military sway in Syria.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet he had "repeated and clarified" his Syria policy in weekend phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

"First of all, Iran must clear out of all of Syria," Netanyahu said on Sunday, according to a statement from his office. "Secondly, we will take action, and are already taking action, against the attempted military entrenchment of Iran and its proxies, both close to the border and deep within Syria."

In an interview last week, Assad called Hezbollah "a basic element" in the war and said "the need for these military forces will continue for a long time."

He said the United States was an occupying power in Syria and that his state supported "any act of resistance, whether against terrorists or against occupying forces, regardless of their nationality."

Current Iranian regime fighting "terrorism" is like curing syphilis with gonorrhea. Even Saddam who had many problems with insurgents never used any Sunni militias or foreigners.

In the latest turn of events the USA has shifted the blame to Israel.

Israel Did That! US Official Blames Syria Strike on IDF

What Sputnik reported earlier as a US-led coalition strike on Syria has turned out to be an Israeli airstrike - at least according to one US official who spoke with CNN.

Israel, not the US, is responsible for an airstrike that killed dozens near the Syria-Iraq border, an anonymous US official said Monday, CNN reported. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the official told reporters that the Pentagon is going out of its way to publicly make clear that it was not involved in the attack.

As Sputnik reported earlier, the Sunday night airstrike targeted positions in the Syrian settlement of al-Harra, which is southeast of Abu Kamal, near the border with Iraq. An unnamed commander of forces in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told Reuters that "probably American" drones bombed the positions between Abu Kamal and al-Tanf.



According to Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces, 22 of its members were killed, while estimates by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights say the total death toll was 52 people, Haaretz reported.

"At 22:00 last night, a US plane hit a fixed headquarters of the Popular Mobilization Forces' 45th and 46th brigades, defending the border strip with Syria, using two guided missiles which led to the martyrdom of 22 fighters," Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces said in a statement Monday, demanding an explanation from the United States.

"Among [those killed] are at least 30 Iraqi fighters and 16 Syrians, including soldiers and members of loyalist militias," Syrian Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman told reporters.

US Department of Defense spokesman Adrian Rankine-Galloway immediately denied involvement by either the US or the US-led coalition against Daesh in the attack.

"Not a US or coalition strike," Rankine-Galloway said Sunday.

"No member of the US-led coalition carried out strikes near Abu Kamal," Major Josh Jacques, a US Central Command spokesperson, told Reuters.

According to the anonymous US official who spoke with CNN, the US military is concerned the Iraqi Mobilization Forces might retaliate against US troops stationed in Iraq, which the current government, led by cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, has publicly called an "occupation." The official said that the Pentagon is doing everything it can to minimize the risk of retaliatory action.

There is so much mess in Syria

 

[Hack-Hook]

Current Iranian regime fighting "terrorism" is like curing syphilis with gonorrhea. Even Saddam who had many problems with insurgents never used any Sunni militias or foreigners.

you may not knew it but for decades we treated Syphilis by Salvarsan which is basically a form of Arsenic with As-As Band .

before that we used Mercury compound to treat it which is as poisonous as it can be .
it was 30 years later that we start to use penicillin to treat the disease , so yes we use poisons even disease to cure another disease .

 

[litman]

the countries with stealth jets are to be blamed for this. and the suspects are easy to be identified and these are israel and US.
