Iraqi resistance conducts operation against key Israeli targets in occupied lands

In a statement issued on its Telegram channel Sunday afternoon, the group, which is an umbrella for Iraq’s anti-terror fighters, said it has launched a drone strike on a vital Israeli target in the occupied port city of Umm al-Rashrash, also known as Eilat.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq said the operation came “in support of our people in Palestine, and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.”

It also vowed that “operations to strike the enemy's strongholds” will continue “with increasing intensity.”

The operation came about a week after the Iraqi resistance fighters launched separate missile and drone strikes against strategic targets in different parts of the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories.

Back then, the group said it had attacked the port cities of Eilat and Haifa with kamikaze drones and sophisticated Arqab cruise missiles.

During past months, the Iraqi resistance has launched multiple attacks on Israel’s vital targets both in Eilat and Haifa, including the latter’s airport and oil refinery.

It has also launched joint operations along with Yemeni forces against Israeli ports and Israel-linked ships since the regime’s brutal onslaught started on the besieged Gaza Strip.

The Iraqi resistance's latest attack on Eilat came after a drone strike by Yemeni forces on Friday hit an area near a US consular facility in Tel Aviv, killing one Israeli settler and injuring 10 others, as the regime’s air defenses failed to intercept the drone.

In retaliation, Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes against fuel storage facilities in Yemen's strategic western province of Hudaydah, leaving six civilians dead and nearly 90 others injured.
