Islamic Resistance in Iraq hit Israeli air base, military site with drones
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has said it has carried out new operations against Israeli targets in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The Iraqi umbrella group of anti-terror groups said in a statement published on its Telegram channel on Wednesday that the first operation targeted the Ovda air base in the occupied Palestinian territories using drones.
"The Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, targeted on 03/26/2024, the Israeli Uvda Air Base with drones," the Islamic Resistance statement said.
In the second operation, the resistance’s drones hit Israel’s Speer military site also in the occupied territories.
“The fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted this morning, Wednesday 27/3/2024, the ‘Speer’ military site of the Zionist occupation in our occupied lands by drones,” the statement said.
"The Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, targeted on 03/27/2024, the Israeli Speer military site with drones," it added.
The Iraqi resistance said the operations were carried out in response to the latest massacres of the people of Gaza by Israel.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has carried out several key operations in recent months, including multiple attacks on Ben Gurion Airport, a power plant in Tel Aviv as well as major Israeli ports in solidarity with the people of Gaza.
They have also attacked US military bases in Iraq and neighboring Syria in response to Washington’s support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
This week the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted the headquarters of the Israeli regime's ministry for military affairs in the occupied territories with a drone early on Sunday.
The Islamic Resistance statement said that “the fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted, at dawn today Sunday 3/24/2024, by drone, the headquarters building” of the Israeli ministry for military affairs in the occupied territories.
Israel has waged a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7.
More than 32,300 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have since been killed in Gaza, and more than 74,000 injured.
The regime has also imposed a “complete siege” on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food and water to the Palestinians living there.
