In response to the Israeli regime’s unrelenting onslaught against the Gaza Strip, particularly the southern border city of Rafah, fighters from Iraqi anti-terror resistance groups have conducted two separate operations against strategic installations in the 1948 occupied territories.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq stated in an online announcement that its members had conducted a drone strike against the oil refinery in the port city of Haifa.

It emphasized that the attack struck the designated targets precisely.

The Iraqi umbrella group of anti-terror groups went on to announce that it had also launched a separate operation against “vital” sites at the Port of Haifa by using drones.

Earlier on Sunday, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq said in a statement published on its Telegram channel that it had carried out a drone strike on an Israeli target at the Port of Eilat in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The coalition has been launching several attacks on Israeli targets ever since the occupying regime started a genocidal war on Gaza in early October.

Israel waged the 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, against the usurping regime on October 7.

At least 36,439 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children, and another 82,627 individuals have sustained injuries. More than 1.7 million people have been internally displaced during the war as well.
