The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, said in a statement published on its Telegram channel early on Wednesday that it targeted several Israeli military targets in the Jordan Valley using drones.
It said the drone strike was carried out in continuation of resistance against the occupying Israeli regime, in support of Palestinians in Gaza.
“In continuation of our path in resisting the occupation, 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 fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, on Wednesday 25-09-2024, attacked a target near the Jordan Valley in our occupied lands using drones,” the statement said.
“Permission has been granted to those who are being fought, because they have been wronged. And indeed, Allah is able to give them victory,” the statement added.
The Israeli defense system failed to intercept the drone that hit the Ramon air base causing fire.
According to the Israeli media, this is the first time Iraqi resistance drones hit Ramon base.
The Iraqi resistance also launched another strike against a vital target in the north of the occupied lands with an advanced Al-Arqab cruise missile.
On Tuesday, fighters from Iraqi anti-terror resistance groups carried out an operation against a strategic position in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights in retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s relentless strikes on Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The resistance announced that it had launched the attack with an al-Arfad kamikaze drone.
It said the drone strike was carried out in retaliation for the massacres that the usurping Zionist entity is perpetrating against unarmed Palestinian civilians.
The coalition noted that it will continue to target and destroy important installations across the occupied lands.
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 41,455 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children, and another 95,878 individuals have sustained injuries in Gaza so far.
According to estimates, 1.9 million people in the war-ravaged territory are internally displaced – including people displaced up to nine or 10 times.
