Iraqi fighters have launched a second drone attack on a key position in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights since early Friday, in response to ongoing Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of the country’s anti-terror movements, stated that the drone strike was conducted “in support of our people in Palestine and Lebanon, and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against civilians, including children, women and the elderly.”

The coalition noted that it will continue to target and destroy important installations across the occupied lands.

Earlier, Iraq’s Islamic Resistance announced that it had struck an Israeli target in the Golan Heights, occupied by Israel since 1967, with kamikaze drones. 

The Golan Heights has been under Israeli control since a large-scale war in 1967 involving several regional Arab states, including Syria.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been conducting numerous such operations against sensitive targets lying across the occupied territories since October 7 last year, when the Israeli regime waged a genocidal war in the Gaza Strip. At least 41,534 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in the brutal Israeli military onslaught so far.

On Wednesday, the Iraqi anti-terror resistance groups launched a drone strike against a strategic target at the city of Eilat in the Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for the brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.

The coalition has also carried out retaliatory attacks against the US occupation bases across Iraq and neighboring Syria due to Washington’s unbridled political, military, and intelligence support for Israel’s atrocities in Gaza.
