An air strike hit a military base in southern Iraq housing the Iran-backed Kataeb Hezbollah group on Tuesday (March 3, 2026), two sources from the armed faction said.
The Jurf al-Nasr base, which serves as one of the main bastions of the powerful Tehran-backed group, has been struck several times since the war in the West Asia broke out, starting in the early hours of the U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran.

The strikes have since expanded to other areas, and more than 10 fighters, mostly from Kataeb Hezbollah, have been killed across Iraq since Saturday.
A second source from the group said Tuesday's strike only caused material damage.
