The operations come after the Iraqi Resistance conducted three separate operations against three vital targets in the occupied Syrian Golan. 

On October 4, the Israeli army reported that two soldiers were killed and 24 others injured in a drone strike carried out from Iraq early a couple of days ago.

The Israeli military spokesperson announced, under the "permitted to publish" clause, that two soldiers from the Golani Brigade, Battalion 13, were killed when a drone launched from Iraq exploded in a military base in the Golan.

An investigation by the Israeli army revealed that the attack involved two explosive-laden drones launched from Iraq. One drone was intercepted by air defenses, while the second struck an army base in the northern Golan Heights a few minutes later, as per the army.

 The Iraqi Resistance has vowed to continue striking enemy strongholds with increasing intensity.
