Iraqi resistance launches retaliatory drone strikes on vital Israeli targets in Eilat
Fighters from the Iraqi anti-terror resistance groups have launched two drone strikes against strategic targets in the southern part of the Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s devastating war on Gaza and its bloody onslaught against Lebanon.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, in a statement published on its Telegram channel, claimed responsibility for the early Sunday morning attack on the port city of Eilat.
According to the statement, the strike was carried out with kamikaze drones.
It said the operation was conducted in continuation of the struggle against the occupying Israeli regime, in support of Palestinians and the Lebanese nation, and in retaliation for the massacres that the usurping Zionist entity is perpetrating against women, children, and elderly people in the besieged territory as well as the Arab country.
The group noted that it will continue to target and destroy important installations across the occupied lands.
Hours after the drone attack, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced another strike, saying that it had used unmanned aerial vehicles to hit a vital target in the same Israeli-occupied area.
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 41,586 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children, and another 96,210 individuals have sustained injuries in Gaza so far.
Around 1.9 million people – about 9 in 10 of Gaza’s population – are estimated to have been internally displaced during the war as well.
