Iraq's Islamic Resistance hits several Israeli, US targets in support of Palestinians in Gaza
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says its fighters have struck several Israeli and American targets across the Arab country and neighboring Syria as well as in the occupied territories in support of Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Issuing a statement on Sunday, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group for the country's anti-terror movements, said it had hit a "vital target" in the port city of Haifa in the northwestern part of the occupied Palestinian territories.
The statement noted that the target in Haifa was hit "with a long-range al-Arqab upgraded cruise missile in the past days."
The Iraqi resistance added that the attack on Haifa took place "in support of our people in Gaza and in response to the massacre of Palestinian civilians, including children, women, and elderly people, by the usurping entity."
The new development came as the Israeli regime is going on with its war of genocide against Gaza. The regime's aggression started on October 7, when Gaza's resistance groups conducted a remarkably successful operation against the occupied territories, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm.
Nearly 23,000 people, most of them women and children, have died in the regime's onslaught so far.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq vowed to continue its attacks against "the enemy's strongholds," saying, "We promise you more."
The resistance also said its forces had attacked "a military target" in Syria's Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
American targets
Prior to the strike against Golan, the Iraqi resistance reported a drone attack against the US-occupied Qasraq military base in the countryside of the northeastern Syrian city of Hasakah.
Resistance fighters also conducted a raft of drone strikes against the Ain al-Assad Airbase in the western Iraqi province of al-Anbar where American military forces are stationed.
The attacks came only a day after the resistance announced targeting three US-occupied military bases throughout Iraq and Syria.
The United States has been providing Israel with unbridled military and political support in its onslaught against Gaza, arming Tel Aviv with more than 10,000 tons of military hardware.
The US has also torpedoed the prospect of cessation of the Israeli aggression by stonewalling ratification of all United Nations Security Council resolutions that called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
