Officer Abdullah was in the clinic with several colleagues at 9 a.m. when he heard a loud bang, followed by another. The next thing he remembers is being trapped under a concrete wall that had been breached by the impact. His colleagues rushed to his aid when “the plane turned around in mid-air, descended, and began firing bursts of machine-gun fire,” the soldier recalls from a hospital bed in Fallujah, where some of the 23 wounded have been taken. This attack, which resulted in seven deaths, is the worst suffered by Iraqi troops since the United States and Israel began their war against Iran on February 28.

“This is a U.S. attack because we identified the aircraft, an A-10, which only they use,” General Tahseen, who arrived from Baghdad, told a handful of Iraqi journalists. “Why have the Americans attacked us?”

Just more senseless atrocities by the USA. Seems to be the norm for them.

This also smells to me like someone used a shitty ai prompt that targeted the facility but no one verified the strike list.
