"Reprehensible Act" Iraqi Military Clinic Bombed, Six Soldiers Killed As US Faces Summons | VERTEX

Описание: An airstrike on Iraq's Habbaniya military base in western Anbar province has destroyed an army medical facility, killing six soldiers and wounding 23 others, Iraqi military officials confirmed Thursday. Footage from the scene shows widespread rubble and destruction, with bulldozers removing debris and ambulances at the site. The Iraqi Ministry of Defense condemned the strike as a "blatant and serious violation" of international laws and norms prohibiting attacks on medical facilities and personnel, describing it as a dangerous escalation. Brigadier General Tahsin Al-Khafaji, spokesperson for the Iraqi military's Joint Operations Command, said the Habbaniya medical clinic was a civilian facility providing medical services to Iraqi Army units, calling the bombing a "reprehensible act" and vowing that the ministry would pursue and hold accountable those responsible. Lieutenant General Raad Mahmoud, commander of the Iraqi military's Anbar Operations, described the attack as "brutal and reprehensible," stating that the targeted units were purely military. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has instructed the foreign ministry to summon the US chargé d'affaires in Baghdad over attacks targeting Iraqi military units. The strike comes amid escalating regional tensions following joint US-Israel military operations against Iran on February 28, which have drawn in neighboring countries and expanded the conflict across the Middle East.
