The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced that it had targeted an Israeli site in the Jordan Valley, east of occupied Palestine, using the al-Arfad drone, marking the fifth attack on Sunday.

In a statement, the group affirmed that the operation comes "in continuation of our resistance against the occupation, 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."

The Iraqi Resistance underlined that it will continue to "strike enemy strongholds with increasing intensity."

In parallel, Israeli media reported that a swarm of drones had infiltrated from the east, activating sirens in the occupied city of Bisan, the Jordan Valley, and the southern occupied Golan Heights.

Israeli media described the attack as the largest from Iraq since 1991 and stated that more than 15 drones of a new type were deployed.

On its part, the Israeli occupation military said that several interceptors were launched toward a drone launched from Iraq coming from the direction of Syria. However, it did not specify if the Israeli defenses managed to intercept the target.

Earlier on Sunday, the Iraqi Resistance launched a drone attack on the Israeli military base located in the northern Jordan Valley in occupied Palestine, while also reporting three other distinct operations.

The first was a drone attack that targeted a "vital site", the second targeted various sites in northern occupied Palestine using al-Arqab missiles [developed cruise missiles], while the third focused on targets in southern occupied Palestine.

The Islamic Resistance also posted a photo of a drone on its Telegram channel, under the title “And the earth discharges its burdens", from Surah al-Zalzalah from the holy Quran.

Over the past week, the Resistance in Iraq executed four operations. Three of these strikes targeted locations in occupied Haifa using drones, while the fourth operation targeted an occupation site in the Jordan Valley.
