Seven soldiers were killed and 13 others injured when strikes hit a military clinic and an engineering unit at the Habbaniyah base located to the west of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, on March 25 morning, the Iraqi Defense Ministry announced.
In a statement, the ministry said the strikes were followed by additional gun fire from a warplane, as rescue teams continued searching the site.
The attack killed and wounded personnel while they were carrying out their “national and humanitarian duties,” the ministry added, describing it as a “blatant and serious violation of international laws and norms that prohibit targeting medical facilities and their staff.”
It also called the deadly attack “a dangerous escalation,” stressing that targeting medical facilities represents “a grave crime.”
The ministry said that the strikes would not deter its personnel, adding that Iraq reserves the right to take all necessary measures “to respond in accordance with applicable laws.”
Videos posted to social networks revealed that the strikes were carried out by American A-10 Thunderbolt II close air support jets. The footage even showed at least A-10 firing its massive GAU-8/A Avenger 30mm seven-barrel Gatling gun at the Habbaniyah base.
The jets that carried out the strikes are likely a part of the A-10 squadron based at Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base in neighboring Jordan.
Just a day earlier, the same jets took part in an attack in the western Iraqi province of al-Anbar that claimed the lives of 15 members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), including a commander.
The PMF is a part of Iraq’s armed forces, but many of its Iranian-backed factions are also a part of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), which has been launching attacks against American forces in Iraq and neighboring countries since the start of the American-Israeli war on Iran.
Following the attack in al-Anbar, Iraq’s National Security Council authorized the PMF to exercise the right of self-defense and respond to any attacks targeting their positions.
It’s worth noting that one the very same day a ballistic missile strike killed six members of the Kurdish Peshmerga, with Iraq’s Kurdistan Region accusing Iran of conducting the attack.
The Iraqi government protested the attacks that targeted the PMF and the Peshmerga, summoning the envoys of both the United States and Iran. The latest deadly American near Baghdad shows, however, that the two sides will continue to exchange blows on Iraqi territories.
