Fighters from Iraqi anti-terror resistance groups have separately launched drone and missile strikes against strategic targets in the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for the brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, in a statement published on its Telegram channel, claimed responsibility for the aerial attack on a “vital” site in the occupied lands on Sunday morning.

It said the drone strike was carried out in continuation of the struggle against the occupying Israeli regime, in support of Palestinians in Gaza, and in retaliation for the massacres that the usurping Zionist entity is perpetrating against women, children and the elderly in the besieged territory.

Hours later, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced in a separate statement that it had hit targets in the northern part of the 1948 Israeli-occupied with advanced al-Arqab cruise missiles. 

Positions in the southern flank of the occupied lands were also struck with kamikaze drones.

The Iraqi resistance also targeted the “Zionist military base in the northern Jordan Valley in our occupied lands, using drones.”

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been launching several attacks on Israeli targets ever since the occupying regime started the genocidal war on Gaza last year in October.

Israel has been waging an atrocious onslaught against the Gaza Strip, targeting hospitals, residences, and houses of worship after Palestinian resistance movements launched a surprise attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, on October 7.

At least 41,391 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children, and another 95,760 individuals have sustained injuries in Gaza so far. More than 1.7 million people have been internally displaced during the war as well.
