Tracking Anti-U.S. Strikes in Iraq and Syria During the Gaza Crisis

About the Authors
Militia Spotlight presents a regularly updated tracker with the best-known information about drone, rocket, and missile attacks against U.S. and allied targets, which have intensified since the Gaza war broke out.
The table below is primarily a tally of attack claims by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI) since it emerged on October 18, 2023, with an increasing mix of claims by newer emergent groups and unclaimed attacks since October 26. (The "Islamic Resistance" is not a group itself, but a collective mechanism to claim attacks by existing U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations such as Kataib Hezbollah, Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, and non-sanctioned groups like Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada.)
The table went through an extensive scrub on November 12, resulting in some presentational changes and reordering. Some duplicate and fake IRI claims have been removed, with markers left to show where this occurred. Overall, IRI claims are still quite reliable indicators of real attacks, but on some occasions the brand has issued detailed claims for attacks that did not occur. One sub-brand with two claims—The Islamic Resistance in Iraq-Dhafireen Group—has been left in the dataset because the information may be useful later, even if the claimant seems unreliable. This all suggests a high but imperfect level of coordination and communication between the groups using the IRI brand.
Some attacks in Iraq and Syria since October have not been claimed, most likely because they represent instances in which Iran-linked Syrian Arab militias (e.g., the Sons of the Jazira and Euphrates (Furat) Movement) targeted bases run by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Strikes on Israel have been retained in the table but excised from the serial numbering to keep the count focused on attacks against U.S. sites in Syria and Iraq. These steps should close some of the gap between Militia Spotlight's numbers and those issued by the U.S. Defense Department, though we may still count slightly differently from them (i.e., we count all attempted attacks, successful or otherwise).

| Jan 30 | Poss attack on Harir or Erbil, Iraq | Unknown | Apparent Sammad KAS-04 crash on border of Iraqi Kurdistan |
On the afternoon of January 30, a Sammad-type drone came down outside the village of Bibani, near Altun Kupri. There are some reports the drone was conducting a surveillance flight and was downed by ground fire from Peshmerga positions, but wreckage recovered at the crash site (including an explosive warhead) points to a one-way attack drone. The location of the crash suggests the drone was aimed at Erbil or Hair and launched out of the Mamah / Dibis area (where the US struck a Nujaba drone cell in December). |
||||||
| Jan 29 | Kharab al-Jir/Rmelan Air Base, Syria | Unclear, likely Hezbollah Harakat al-Nujaba | 10x 122mm Grad rockets in a truck launcher |
At approximately 21:30hrs on January 29 (probably a few hours after Qaani’s meeting with top militia leaders in Baghdad), Iraqi security forces found a bongo truck-type launch vehicle near Rabia in western Nineveh. The truck was loaded with ten rockets (probably 122mm) and was aimed across the border in the direction of the Rmelan Landing Zone (RLZ). The operators of the truck ran off when the ISF apparently “spotted” the vehicle.
