The US military carried out "defensive strikes" in Iraq and Syria against the Kataib Hezbollah armed group, the Pentagon said, two days after a US civilian contractor was killed in a rocket attack on an Iraqi military base.
The targets - three in Iraq and two in Syria - included weapons storage facilities and command locations used to plan and execute attacks, it said.
Iraq's Kataib Hezbollah is part of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) - which helped the Iraqi government's fight against ISIL (ISIS).
