The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says it has conducted a fresh retaliatory strike on an Israeli military position in the occupied territories.

In a statement, the umbrella group said it launched a drone attack on a vital Israeli target in the occupied port city of Umm al-Rashrash, also known as Eilat, on Wednesday morning.

The Iraqi group said the operation was in response to Israel's genocidal war on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

It also vowed to continue retaliatory attacks on Israeli targets.

“The Islamic Resistance in Iraq confirms its continuation in striking the enemy's strongholds,” the statement said.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been launching attacks on Israeli targets ever since the occupying regime started the genocidal war on Gaza in early October.

The resistance has been also hitting American military bases in Iraq and neighboring Syria in retaliation for Washington’s support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

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 37,650 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children, and another 86,00 individuals have sustained injuries in Gaza so far. More than 1.7 million people have been internally displaced during the war as well.
