U.S. Strike Takes Out Senior Member of Iran-Backed Kata'ib Hezbollah in Baghdad

The United States carried out a drone strike in Baghdad on Wednesday night that killed at least one senior member of Kata'ib Hezbollah, U.S. Central Command confirmed.

Taking place around 9:30 p.m. local time, CENTCOM said the "unilateral strike" was a "response to the attacks on U.S. service members" of which there have been more than 160 since mid-October. The strike killed "a Kata'ib Hezbollah commander responsible for directly planning and participating in attacks on U.S. forces in the region," CENTCOM reported.

The U.S. said there were "no indications of collateral damage or civilian casualties" following the drone strike. "The United States will continue to take necessary action to protect our people," warned CENTCOM's comments. "We will not hesitate to hold responsible all those who threaten our forces' safety."

Wednesday's U.S. drone strike comes as the Biden administration carries out a "multi-tier response" to the scores of attacks on U.S. troops that have wounded dozens of American service members and killed three in recent weeks. The first counterstrikes from the U.S. to the deadly January 28 attack on the Tower 22 complex in northern Jordan began hours after President Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin participated in the dignified transfer ceremony returning U.S. Army Sgts. Kennedy Sanders, William Rivers, and Breonna Moffett to the United States.
