Kata’ib Hezbollah in Iraq denies saying it resumes attacks on US forces

Iraqi armed faction Kata’ib Hezbollah has denied issuing a statement saying it had resumed attacks on US forces, a statement from the group issued on the Telegram messaging app said.

The denial came hours after a post circulated on groups that declared a resumption in the attacks some three months after they were suspended

Kata’ib Hezbollah described that as “fabricated news.”

At least five rockets were launched from Iraq’s town of Zummar towards a US military base in northeastern Syria on Sunday, two Iraqi security sources and a US official told Reuters.
