Iraq’s Hashed al-Shaabi accused Israel of a deadly drone attack on Sunday, the first time it directly blames the Jewish state after several of the paramilitary force’s bases were hit by suspicious blasts.The attack struck a position held by Brigade 45, a Hashed al-Shaabi unit based about 15 kilometres from Iraq’s western desertic border with neighbouring Syria.
The attack is the latest in a string of blasts and drone sightings at Hashed bases across the country that have sparked concern of a possible proxy war between Iran, the US and Israel on Iraqi soil — or in its airspace. Hashed chief and Iraqi National Security Adviser Faleh al-Fayyadh has said preliminary investigations found the incidents were premeditated but had not yet revealed the perpetrators.
