Iraqi Shiite militia Kata’ib Hezbollah threatened to attack the presence of US forces if Israel assaults Iraq.
Abu Ali al-Askar, security leader of the Iranian-backed Shiite militia, said in a statement on Wednesday that the Iraqi airspace is witnessing intense activity by the United States and Israel, indicating “the possibility of a Zionist (Israeli) aggression against Iraq.”
“Accordingly, the Kata’ib Hezbollah renews its warning that its response will not be limited to Israel only, but will include the entire US presence,” the statement said.
