(Wall Street Journal) Michael R. Gordon - The U.S. on Sunday conducted airstrikes in Syria and Iraq against two Iranian-backed militias that the Pentagon said were mounting drone attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq. Operational and weapons-storage facilities were struck at three locations near the Syria-Iraq border that were used by Kata'ib Hezbollah and Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada. Michael Knights of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy said there have been at least eight drone attacks directed at U.S. forces in Iraq since April 14.
