The United States Central Command confirmed on Wednesday that its forces carried out a “unilateral strike” in Iraq which killed a Kataib Hezbollah commander as a response to the attack that took the lives of three American service members in Jordan last month. The commander is said to be “responsible for directly planning” and “participating” in attacks on American forces in the region. “The United States will continue to take necessary action to protect our people. We will not hesitate to hold responsible all those who threaten our forces’ safety,” the Central Command said in a statement. The Pentagon previously noted that indications were showing the involvement of the Kataib Hezbollah group in the attack on the US base in Jordan. The militant group later announced an end to all military operations against the US forces to prevent “embarrassment” to the Iraqi government. NN: I guess he is sorry now.
