Iraqi Resistance Forces Strike Vital Israeli Positions with Drones, Missiles
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Fighters from Iraqi resistance groups have launched separate drone and missile strikes on strategic targets within Israeli-occupied territories, in retaliation for Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza, according to statements released on Sunday.
Fighters affiliated with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for a drone strike on a "vital" site within the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories on Sunday morning, according to a statement shared on the group's Telegram channel.
The resistance group stated that the attack was part of their ongoing resistance against the Israeli regime and in support of Palestinians in Gaza, citing the need to retaliate against the massacres perpetrated by the Israeli regime against women, children, and the elderly in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Hours after the drone attack, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced another strike, saying that it had used advanced al-Arqab cruise missiles to hit targets in northern Israeli-occupied areas.
Additional strikes were carried out by kamikaze drones targeting positions in the southern regions of the occupied territories.
The movement also reported that its fighters targeted a "Zionist military base" located in the northern Jordan Valley using drones.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been carrying out a series of attacks on Israeli targets since October last year, following the beginning of Israel's "genocidal" war on Gaza.
To date, at least 41,391 Palestinians, primarily women and children, have been killed in Israeli genocidal war, with 95,760 others injured in Gaza. More than 1.7 million people have been displaced by the conflict.
