An Iraqi parliamentarian says the Baghdad government is preparing a complaint to the United Nations after investigations revealed that the Israeli regime is “certainly” behind several attacks on the bases of pro-government Popular Mobilization Forces, known as Hashd al-Sha’abi.
Ahmad al-Assadi, the spokesman of the Fatah Alliance, told journalists on Thursday in his office in central Baghdad that government probes would name Israel.
“Some of the government investigations have reached a conclusion that the perpetrator behind some of the attacks is absolutely, certainly Israel,” he said, declining to provide details on the evidence.
“The government is preparing sufficient evidence and documents to complain to the (UN) Security Council. It won’t submit a complaint against an unknown entity,” Assadi said.
The former official spokesman for Popular Mobilization Forces further noted that the US involvement in the airstrikes remained unclear.
Iraq’s military said on August 26 it had launched an investigation into a purported Israeli strike that killed two Hashd al-Sha’abi fighters near the town of al-Qa’im close to the country’s western border with Syria.
Sayf al-Badr, the spokesman for the Iraqi Health Ministry, said in a statement that at least one person was killed and 29 others were wounded in a powerful explosion that rocked a military base in southern Baghdad on August 12.
An ammunition warehouse reportedly exploded inside a federal police-military base, named Falcon, in Owerij area near the southern district of Doura.
An Iraqi television network reported on July 19 that a drone had dropped explosives onto a base belonging to the Popular Mobilization Forces near the town of Amerli, located about 170 kilometers north of the capital, in the early hours of the day, killing at least one PMF fighter and injuring four others.
Additionally, the Iraqi al-Etejah television network reported that an American B350 reconnaissance plane had flown over the area a few days earlier.
