The US Defense Department said one militia member was killed and two were wounded in an airstrike last week on an outpost in eastern Syria used by Iran-backed groups.
That assessment aligns with a claim by Kataib Hezbollah last week that an Iraqi national named Rahi Salam Zayed was killed in the air raid.
