Iraq’s Islamic resistance hits two Israeli military bases with drones
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says it has targeted two Israeli military bases in the occupied Palestinian territories using drones.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, which is an umbrella group of the country’s anti-terror movements, made the announcement in separate statements early Monday.
“The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, on the morning of Monday, 06-05-2024, targeted a military facility of the Zionist occupation in our occupied lands by drone,” the first statement said.
"The fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, on the morning of Monday, 06-05-2024, targeted a military air base for the Zionist occupation in “Eilat,” Umm Al-Rashrash, in our occupied lands by drone," the group said in its second statement.
The Iraqi resistance noted that the new anti-Israeli operations came “in support of our people in Gaza and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against Palestinian civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.”
It also affirmed that the resistance fighters will continue to strike the enemy's strongholds.
The new operations came just a day after the Iraqi resistance said it had launched a missile strike against a strategic target in the port of Haifa in the occupied territories using an advanced Arqab cruise missile.
Earlier, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq had claimed responsibility for three operations, two of which were against Israeli targets in Tel Aviv and Beersheba -- both within the occupied lands -- and one against an Israeli interest in the Dead Sea area.
The attack on Tel Aviv, the first of its kind, targeted the Glilot intelligence center linked to the Israeli Mossad spy agency.
Israel started its genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023 after the territory’s resistance fighters carried out Operation al-Aqsa Storm against the apartheid regime in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
The Tel Aviv regime has also imposed a complete siege on the territory, cutting off fuel, medicine, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
The Israeli genocide in Gaza has so far killed 34,683 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 78,018 others.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has also struck major American military bases in Syria and Iraq amid anger over the US support for Israel’s onslaught on Gaza.
