The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says it has carried out new operations against Israeli targets in the occupied Palestinian territories in retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s devastating war on Gaza and its bloody onslaught against Lebanon
The umbrella group for Iraq’s resistance factions said in statements issued on Sunday night that it had targeted a vital target in the occupied port city of Eilat using drones.
“In continuation of our approach to resisting the occupation, and in support of our people in Palestine and Lebanon, and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against civilians, including children, women and the elderly, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq today, Sunday 29-09-2024, attacked a vital target in Umm al-Rashrash "Eilat" in our occupied lands, using drones,” one statement said.
The group added that a squadron of drones also struck two other targets in the occupied territories.
Iraq’s Islamic resistance said the third operation hit Israeli targets with missiles.
The group stressed that it will continue its anti-Israel operations in support of Palestinian people in Gaza and Lebanon.
Also on Sunday morning, fighters from the Iraqi anti-terror resistance groups also launched two drone strikes against strategic targets in the southern part of the Israeli-occupied territories.
The Islamic Resistance claimed responsibility for the early Sunday morning attack on the port city of Eilat.
The group noted that it will continue to target and destroy important installations across the occupied lands.
Hours after the drone attack, the Islamic Resistance announced another strike, saying that it had used unmanned aerial vehicles to hit a vital target in the same Israeli-occupied area.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been launching attacks on Israeli targets ever since the occupying regime started the genocidal war on Gaza in early October.
The resistance has also been hitting American military bases in Iraq and neighboring Syria in retaliation for Washington’s support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
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 41,586 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children, and another 96,210 individuals have sustained injuries in Gaza so far.
Around 1.9 million people – about 9 in 10 of Gaza’s population – are estimated to have been internally displaced during the war as well.
