Iraqi resistance targets Israeli oil refineries in Haifa
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has said it targeted oil refineries in Haifa in the occupied territories with drones early on Saturday, in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, who are enduring a genocidal Israeli war.
The Iraqi umbrella group of anti-terror groups made the announcement in a statement published on its Telegram channel early Saturday.
“At dawn today, Saturday April 6, 2024, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted the oil refineries in Haifa in our occupied lands using drones, reaffirming our continuation in striking the strongholds of our enemies, as a part of the second phase of resisting the occupation, in support of our people in Gaza, and in response to the Zionist massacres against the unarmed Palestinian civilians,” the statement said.
"And victory is only from Allah. Indeed, Allah is Mighty and Wise," it added.
On Wednesday, Iraqi resistance forces targeted a key Israeli airbase as well as the city of Ashdod in the central part of the occupied territories.
The first strike saw the forces using drones to hit the Ramat David Airbase -- the Israeli regime’s northernmost such outpost that houses warplanes and gunships.
The Iraqi forces hit a “vital target” in Ashdod during the second attack, which was similarly conducted using unmanned aerial vehicles.
According to the resistance, the latter attack was part of “the second phase” of its pro-Palestinian operations against the Israeli regime.
Earlier on Wednesday, it struck the Haifa Airport in the northwestern part of the territories, asserting that it would continue to “destroy the enemy’s strongholds.”
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq vowed to precede with its retaliatory operations until Israel stops its genocide in Gaza.
The coalition has been staging many such attacks on Israeli targets since the occupying regime launched a genocidal war on Gaza in October.
The regime began the war on October 7 after Gaza’s resistance groups carried out a retaliatory operation against the usurping entity.
Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed more than 33,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
Iraq’s Islamic Resistance has been conducting numerous operations against targets lying throughout the occupied territories ever since the onset of the warfare.
