On Sunday, the Al-Shaddadi base, which houses the US-led global coalition in the Al-Hasakah countryside of Syria, came under attack as regional tensions continue to escalate, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a rights group.

The attack, carried out by two drones laden with explosives, was attributed to "Iranian-backed militia groups" based in Iraqi territory, as reported by SOHR. Fortunately, there have been no immediate reports of damage or casualties resulting from this attack.

This incident marks the 14th time that military bases associated with the US-led global coalition in Syria have been targeted in the past eleven days, according to the war monitor and rights group.

In recent days, a surge in drone and rocket attacks has been observed, specifically targeting US forces in Iraq, Syria, and the Kurdistan Region. A Pentagon update has confirmed that at least 24 US service members have been injured in these attacks.

These developments occur in the context of growing tensions in the broader Middle East, notably the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas forces in the Gaza Strip, where an Israeli ground offensive has been underway since Saturday.

In response to the security situation in the region, several countries, including the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands, have issued travel advisories cautioning their citizens against traveling to Iraq due to a series of attacks on coalition bases. Additionally, the US and the UK have taken steps to evacuate non-essential personnel from their missions in Baghdad and Erbil.

As tensions continue to mount in the Middle East, the situation remains fluid and evolving. The international community is closely monitoring developments in the region, and efforts are ongoing to address the various challenges and conflicts currently underway.
