Pentagon: Six U.S. Troops Suffered Traumatic Brain Injuries from Attacks by Iran-Backed Syrian MilitiaJohn Hayward 31 Mar 2023
The Pentagon said on Thursday that six U.S. troops in Syria suffered traumatic brain injuries after an attack on their positions last week by Iran-backed militias.
Six other injured soldiers were reported at the time, along with one American contractor killed and one injured.
“All personnel in the vicinity of a blast are screened for traumatic brain injury. So these additional injuries were identified during post-attack medical screenings,” Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said at a press briefing on Thursday. He noted additional injuries could be uncovered during further screenings.
Ryder said four of the brain injuries were sustained during the March 23 drone attack on Hasaka, Syria, which also caused the fatality and injury to U.S. contractors. The other two were from an indiscriminate rocket attack on a site in northeastern Syria called Green Village on the morning of the following day.
