Fighters from Iraqi anti-terror resistance groups have launched a drone strike against a strategic military target in the northern part of the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for the brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, in a statement published on its Telegram channel, claimed responsibility for the attack on the “vital” military site in Haifa on Monday evening.

It said the drone strike was carried out in continuation of the struggle against the occupying Israeli regime, in support of Palestinians in Gaza, and in retaliation for the massacres that the usurping Zionist entity is perpetrating against women, children and the elderly in the besieged territory.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been launching several attacks on Israeli targets ever since the occupying regime started the genocidal war on Gaza last year in 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 37,626 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children, and another 86,098 individuals have sustained injuries in Gaza so far. More than 1.7 million people have been internally displaced during the war as well.
