Shafaq News/ The Security and Defense Committee in the Iraqi parliament revealed on Thursday the names of the two factions that were targeted yesterday by an air strike in Syria, accusing the American aviation of being behind the operation.

Committee member Karim Aliwi told Shafaq News that "the American aviation targeted yesterday the Popular Mobilization Forces, as well as some of the Iraqi resistance factions from Hezbollah Brigades and the Martyrs Brigades," considering the targeting as "a blatant transgression against the sovereignty of Iraq and Iraqis."

Aliwi called on the Iraqi government to "file a complaint with the United Nations Security Council against the United States of America for its continued killing Iraqis," noting that "until now we have not received accurate statistics on the number of martyrs and wounded due to the American strike, on the Iraqi-Syrian border."
