TEHRAN (Iran News) –The group, comprising various anti-terror movements in Iraq, made the announcement through separate statements early Monday.
“In support of our people in Gaza and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against Palestinian civilians, including children, women, and the elderly,” the group stated, “the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, on the morning of Monday, 06-05-2024, targeted a military facility of the Zionist occupation in our occupied lands by drone.”
In a second statement, the group declared, “The fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, on the morning of Monday, 06-05-2024, targeted a military air base for the Zionist occupation in “Eilat,” Umm Al-Rashrash, in our occupied lands by drone.”
Emphasizing their continued opposition, the Iraqi resistance affirmed its commitment to striking the enemy’s strongholds.
These operations follow closely on the heels of a missile strike the Iraqi resistance claimed to have launched against a strategic target in the port of Haifa in the occupied territories using an advanced Arqab cruise missile.
Earlier instances of resistance include attacks against Israeli targets in Tel Aviv and Beersheba, both within occupied lands, and one against an Israeli interest in the Dead Sea area. Notably, the attack on Tel Aviv targeted the Glilot intelligence center linked to the Israeli Mossad spy agency.
The conflict in Gaza, which escalated after an operation by territory’s resistance fighters in October 2023, prompted Israel to initiate a genocidal war. The siege imposed by Israel on Gaza has led to dire humanitarian conditions, with shortages of fuel, medicine, electricity, food, and water affecting over two million Palestinians. The toll of the Israeli onslaught stands at 34,683 Palestinians killed and 78,018 injured, primarily women and children.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has extended its operations to target major American military bases in Syria and Iraq, expressing outrage over the US support for Israel’s crimes in Gaza.
