This is the best summary I could come up with:
ANBAR, Iraq, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Drones and rockets targeted two military bases housing U.S. forces in Iraq on Thursday, sources and officials said, the latest in a series of attacks after Iraqi militants warned Washington against intervening to support Israel against Hamas in Gaza.
The Iraqi military said it closed the area around the base and started a search operation.
Rockets hit another military base hosting U.S. forces near Baghdad’s international airport, Iraqi police said on Thursday, without providing further details.
The latest attacks take to four in the past 24 hours targeting Iraqi military bases that hosts U.S. forces in Iraq.
Last week, Iraqi armed groups aligned with Iran threatened to target U.S. interests with missiles and drones if Washington intervened to support Israel against Hamas in Gaza following the deadly incursions by Hamas militants that killed 1,400 people.
Ain al-Asad air base is located in the western Anbar province.
