Sheikh Ali al-Asadi, the head of the political bureau of the Iraqi al-Nujaba Movement, affirmed that the Iraqi Islamic Resistance "will remain a support and an ally for the Palestinian cause."

Al-Asadi warned against the Israeli occupation committing any foolish acts against individuals or positions in Iraq, stressing that "any such foolishness from the Israeli occupation" would be met with a "harsh response to the Israelis and Americans."

This comes as Iraq escalate their operation in support of occupied Palestine and the steadfast people and Resistance of the Gaza Strip.

Yemeni, Iraqi Resistance conduct historic joint operation for Gaza

In a surprising announcement on Thursday, the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) revealed carrying out two joint operations with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, marking the first time two factions of the Axis of Resistance publicly conducted coordinated strikes targeting the Israeli occupation entity.

But that was not the only top-tier part of the operations, which came after the YAF announced striking and hitting the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower last week, deployed, along with its strike group, almost nine months ago to protect "Israel" from the Yemeni naval blockade.

The spokesperson of the YAF, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said that the two operations, which were carried out with several drones, targeted three ships. In the first, two vessels that were transporting weapons to the occupation and docked in the port of Haifa came under attack.

The second operation targeted a third vessel that violated the ban imposed by the Yemeni Armed Forces on vessels heading to Haifa.

He confirmed that the Haifa operations came in response to the Israeli massacres in Rafah, adding that accurate hits were achieved.

He concluded the statement by vowing the occupation entity to "expect more joint operations" in the coming period until the war on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.

The Brigadier General also called on the "Arab armies to participate in the operations" in support of the Palestinian Resistance, as part of their "religious and humanitarian duty toward the Palestinian people."
