Iraq's Kataib Hezbollah says Syria rocket attacks mark resumption of attacks on US forces
[IsraelTimes] Iraq’s Kataib Hezbollah says Iraqi gangs had decided to resume attacks on US forces in the country after seeing little progress on talks to achieve the exit of American troops during a visit by the Iraqi prime minister to Washington.

"What happened a short while ago is the beginning," the group says in an apparent reference to an attack late last night with multiple rockets from northern Iraq on a base housing US forces in Syria.

Founded in the aftermath of the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, Kataeb Hezbollah is one of the elite Iraqi armed factions closest to Iran.
More from the Times of Israel:
At least five rockets were launched from Iraq’s town of Zummar toward a US military base in northeastern Syria on Sunday, two Iraqi security sources told Reuters.

The attack against US forces is the first since early February when Iranian-backed groups in Iraq stopped their attacks against US troops.
