militants in Iraq and Syria have long battled with U.S. and coalition forces, launching sporadic attacks against bases in the region where troops are deployed to fight Islamic State group insurgents. But since Oct. 17, as civilian deaths in Israel's war against Hamas began to skyrocket, there has been a dramatic spike in attacks by Iran's proxies, operating under the umbrella name of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq. While most of the more than five dozen attacks have been largely ineffective, at least 60 U.S. personnel have reported minor injuries. Most often those have been traumatic brain injuries from the explosions, and all troops have returned to duty, according to the Pentagon. In response to the attacks, the U.S. has walked a delicate line. The U.S. military has struck back just three times as the Biden administration balances efforts to deter the militants without triggering a broader Middle East conflict. A look at the attacks and the U.S. response:

Islamic State group attacks killed at least 30 pro-government forces and soldiers in the Syrian desert, a war monitor said Wednesday, in one of the deadliest such assaults this year. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said there had been «30 dead, four of them soldiers and 26 from the National Defence Forces, in simultaneous attacks carried out by the Islamic State group on Wednesday morning on checkpoints and military positions» in the Syrian desert. The attacks took place in locations between Raqa, Homs and Deir Ezzor, added the Observatory, which has a vast network of sources on the ground. Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman warned the toll could rise, citing an unspecified number of wounded, some in serious condition. IS proclaimed a «caliphate» in June 2014 across swathes of Syria and Iraq and launched a reign of terror. It was defeated territorially in Syria in 2019 but its remnants continue to carry out deadly hit-and-run attacks and ambushes, particularly from desert hideouts. Syria's war broke out after President Bashar al-Assad's government crushed peaceful pro-democracy protests in 2011.

military action that became inevitable given the remorseless logic created by the October 7 attacks by Hamas that killed some 1,400 Israelis. Given the magnitude of that move, Israel had no option but to attack Gaza with stated maximalist aims: the elimination of Hamas. Considering the militant organisation runs the densely populated territory — it's more Taliban than the Islamic State, in this respect — civilian casualties are sadly inevitable as Israel follows its goal of uprooting it.

Emmanuel Macron proposed on Tuesday that an international coalition fighting against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria be widened to include the fight against the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza. Macron gave no detail on how the U.S.-led coalition of dozens of countries, of which Israel is not a member, could be involved. Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Macron stressed that France and Israel shared terrorism as their «common enemy». «France is ready for the international coalition against Daesh in which we are taking part for operations in Iraq and Syria to also fight against Hamas,» he told reporters, referring to Islamic State. Macron, who warned against the risks of a regional conflict, also said the fight against Hamas «must be without mercy but not without rules». Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not directly comment on Macron's proposal but said the fight was a battle between the «axis of evil» and «the free world». «This battle is not merely our own… it's everybody's battle,» he said. The U.S-led coalition fighting Islamic State was formed in September 2014. What began as a major military operation that helped «deliver the military defeat of Daesh in Iraq and Syria», is now focusing on advising and assisting local partners, including with reconnaissance and intelligence, to ensure the group cannot reclaim lost ground, the coalition says on its website. It operates primarily in Iraq. Thirty French citizens were killed by Hamas militants in their attack on southern Israel on Oct.

Brussels police arrested a suspected gunman accused of shooting dead two Swedish football fans in what Belgium's prime minister condemned as an act of «terrorist madness». Officials said police opened fire and the suspect was «neutralised» during the arrest, which followed an intensive overnight manhunt in the Belgian capital for an assailant armed with an automatic rifle. There were conflicting accounts of the suspect's condition after his arrest which took place in the Schaerbeek district of central Brussels. Prime Minister Alexander de Croo earlier said the detained man was of Tunisian origin and had been living in the country illegally. He added that someone claiming responsibility for the killings had posted on social media that he was inspired by the Islamic State extremist group. «The terrorist attack that happened yesterday was committed with total cowardice, the attacker chose as a target two Swedish football fans,» de Croo told a news conference, adding that a third person — a taxi driver — was seriously wounded. «Terrorism strikes indiscriminately,» he said.

A Belgian federal prosecutor said there was no evidence that the attacker, who was still on the loose, had any link to the recent renewed conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants. The likely motive for the attack was the Swedish nationality of the victims, the prosecutor said. Sweden in August raised its terror alert to the second-highest level, warning of an increase in threats against Swedish interests abroad, after Koran burnings and other acts in Sweden against Islam's holiest text outraged Muslims and triggered threats from jihadists. The suspected assailant, calling himself Abdesalem Al Guilani, claimed in a video on social media that he was a fighter for Allah. The federal prosecutor said the third victim, who was wounded but whose condition was not in life-threatening, was a taxi driver.
