Israeli airbase comes under drone attack by Iraq’s Islamic Resistance forces
An airbase in the northern part of the Israeli-occupied territories has come under a drone strike by Iraqi anti-terror resistance groups.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, claimed responsibility for the aerial attack on Ramat David Airbase, located 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) southeast of Haifa, in a statement published on its Telegram channel on Friday morning.
It said the drone strike was carried out as part of the second phase of operations against the occupying Israeli regime in support of Palestinians in Gaza, particularly in the southern border city of Rafah, and in retaliation for the massacres that the Zionist entity is perpetrating against unarmed Palestinian civilians.
The coalition noted that it will continue to target and destroy important installations across the occupied lands.
The development came two days after fighters from Iraqi anti-terror resistance groups carried out an operation against a “vital” target in the Port of Eilat.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been launching several attacks on Israeli targets ever since the occupying regime started its genocidal war on Gaza in early October.
Israel has been waging an 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, on October 7.
At least 37,232 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children, and another 85,037 individuals have sustained injuries in Gaza so far. More than 1.7 million people have been internally displaced during the war as well.
