The largest -backed militia in , Kataib , unexpectedly said it will cease its attacks on the U.S. military in retaliation for the war in Gaza out of respect to the Iraqi government.

The suspension of military and security operation -- three days after three U.S. troops were killed in a drone strike that Washington says Kataib Hezbollah likely carried out -- was to avoid "embarrassing" the government in Baghdad

@GottaLaff it is sick that we accept a response that is destroying or killing- you killed ours now we get to kill some of yours. I hope the new young generation is able to bring us out of this militarized violent world. :blobcatpensive:

Much like Hamas (and many of their supporters and apologists), this is another Iran-backed militia that likes to attack and then call for a ceasefire.
