The Islamic Resistance in Iraq – which includes a number of Iraqi factions – announced that it bombed, at dawn on Thursday, two Israeli targets inside Iraqi territory and the occupied Syrian Golan in two separate operations as part of a response to the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, which has continued for the third month in a row.
A statement by the “Islamic Resistance” in Iraq, distributed at dawn on Thursday, said: “In continuation of our approach to resisting the occupation and supporting 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 Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted at dawn yesterday, Wednesday.” “A technical espionage center affiliated with the Zionist entity northeast of Erbil Governorate in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, with appropriate weapons.”
It also stated in a separate statement that it targeted “a vital target in our occupied territories south of the Eliad settlement with appropriate weapons,” reiterating its position to continue “to destroy enemy strongholds.”
Today, Thursday, the Israeli army confirmed that a drone had crashed near a village in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, and Israeli media reported that an attack drone, likely equipped with explosives and launched from Syria, was shot down yesterday evening, Wednesday, south of the Eliad settlement, causing material damage without causing casualties. .
It is noteworthy that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced last Friday that it had targeted the Israeli Karish gas field platform, and confirmed that the attack directly hit the target. It also said that it had bombed a target in the occupied Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), the far south of Israel on the Red Sea, “with appropriate weapons.”
Since last October 7, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has announced that it has launched attacks with drones and missiles against military bases that house American forces in Iraq and Syria.
