BAGHDAD: A strike on Tuesday in western Iraq killed three fighters from the former paramilitary coalition Hashed Al-Shaabi, the alliance said in a statement, blaming the US and Israel for the attack.
Iraq has been drawn into the broader Middle East war that started with US-Israeli strikes on Iran on Feb. 28.
Pro-Iran armed groups have claimed responsibility for attacks on US interests in Iraq and across the region, while strikes have also targeted the groups.
“This heinous attack resulted in the martyrdom of two fighters and the wounding of four others,” the statement said of the strike that targeted a checkpoint in Anbar province.
