 Al-Asad air base 
On October 17, 2023, during the Gaza war, Iraqi militants attempted a drone strike on the U.S. al-Asad Airbase in northern Iraq. The attack was intercepted.
The next day, a false alarm at the base led to the death of a civilian contractor who suffered a heart attack.
On October 20, the U.S. ordered all non-essential staff to leave its embassy in Baghdad and consulate in Erbil.

On November 20, a ballistic missile hit the base, injuring eight U.S. and coalition soldiers and causing minor damage.

On January 20, 2024, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for a large missile attack on the base. Dozens of missiles injured several U.S. troops and one Iraqi soldier.
The attack occurred at 6:30 p.m. Baghdad time. The U.S. responded with over 15 Patriot missiles to defend the base.
