The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a collective of Iraqi Resistance factions, said that its fighters launched an unspecified number of one-way attack drones at a vital Israeli target in northern occupied territories. 

The announcement made on Thursday dawn comes after the group revealed that its fighters launched drones at an Israeli target in occupied Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) in southern occupied Palestine, on the Red Sea's coast. 

Israeli air defenses were activated over the city settlement of Eilat on Wednesday night, as footage circulated of an interceptor missile being launched at an aerial target flying the area. Nonetheless, the Israeli military command has said that the drone never made it into the territory it occupies.

The Iraqi Resistance vowed to continue striking enemy strongholds, underlining that its operation came in support of the Palestinian and Lebanese people. 

Later on Thursday morning, the Resistance said that it launched another set of drones at targets in northern occupied territories. 

Israeli soldiers afraid to shower at night

In recent days the Israeli regime has been attacked by multiple factions in the Axis of Resistance, in top-tier operations that struck the core of the Israeli war machine. 

In particular, an Iraqi drone attack on positions of Golani Brigade fighters in the occupied Syrian Golan, killed and injured at least 26 troops. 

The Israeli news website Walla reported on the state of Israeli occupation troops serving in the Golan, specifically those under the 210th Regional Brigade, who complained of a lack of protection from such attacks.

Troops have been "highly critical of the Israeli military's conduct and the inadequacy of security measures provided to protect them from Iraqi drone threats," the news website reported. 

Walla quoted soldiers stationed in the occupied Syrian Golan, saying, "Almost every night over the past week, we receive warnings from the air force or instructions to remain on alert."

The soldiers pointed out that they are "sent to shelters for long hours or ordered to remain on high alert," to "low" defensive capabilities against such systems. 

"It is impossible to sleep at night, and we wake up in the morning tired, yet continue working," soldiers told the Israeli media outlet.

"Some soldiers are afraid to shower at night in case an alarm goes off during their shower," one troop said, noting that "keeping soldiers in the area on high alert every night without any response is unacceptable."
