"U.S. Drone Strike Eliminates Militia Leader in Baghdad"

A U.S. drone strike in Baghdad killed three members of the Kataib Hezbollah militia, including a high-ranking commander, amid heightened tensions in the region. The strike comes after the U.S. military targeted sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias in retaliation for a drone strike that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan. The U.S. has blamed the Islamic Resistance in Iraq for the attack in Jordan and suspects Kataib Hezbollah of leading it. The strike also follows a surge in regional conflict, including attacks on bases housing U.S. troops in Syria and ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hamas.
