The Israeli "Zevelun" naval facility in Haifa Bay north of occupied Palestine was attacked by a drone on Sunday, sources told Al Mayadeen.

This comes as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, Yemen and Hezbollah continue conducting operations targeting Israeli bases and sites across occupied Palestine, but with the Iraqi group being the most engaged in attacking ports.

With several attacks on record, the Iraqi group has proved that it has the capabilities to target Israeli occupation ports located on the Mediterranean coast. The largest of which, the Haifa port and the "Ashdod" port have come under attack at least twice in 2024.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has transited to the second phase of its operations in which it will work on enforcing blockading Mediterranean maritime routes to the Israeli-occupied ports in occupied Palestine, the Secretary General of the Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, Abu Alaa al-Walai announced in a post on X.

The leader of Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, a faction that operates under the umbrella of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, made the announcement following US strikes that targeted members of the Iraqi government's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF).

Abu Alaa al-Walai explained that stage 2 would include the enforcement of a blockade on "Zionist maritime navigation in the Mediterranean" and "putting [Israeli] ports out of service."

"While the Americans continue targeting our forces, our mujahideen have begun the second phase of their operations," Abu Alaa al-Walai announced in a post on X.
