Mohammad al-Mousawi, a member of the Iraqi al-Nujaba Resistance movement, told Al-Mayadeen that the missile strike on Tel Aviv sends a message to the people of Gaza that they are not alone in the field.

Mohammad al-Moussawi, a member of the al-Nujaba Iraqi Resistance movement, emphasized on Friday that the missile strike on Tel Aviv proves once again that the Iraqi Resistance is an essential part of the Axis of Resistance.

The strikes "send a message to our people in Gaza that they are not alone in the field," al-Moussawi told Al Mayadeen, noting that they also "[constitute] a message to the United States that the Resistance will not stand idly by in the face of what is happening in Gaza."

Al-Moussawi further revealed that there is a "huge target bank" for the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, emphasizing that "they will be targeted in a way fundamentally different than anyone expects."

All Israeli targets in Resistance's crosshairs

In turn, Hashem al-Kindi, head of the al-Naba' Group for Strategic Studies in Baghdad, emphasized that the Islamic Resistance is committed to the victory of Palestine and the Unity of the Battlefields.

"Targeting and photographing Israeli sites is an important message: all Israeli targets are in the Islamic Resistance's crosshairs," al-Kindi said, noting that the Resistance in Iraq, through its recent targets, confirms that it has moved to the beginning of a broader and more precise operation in support of Gaza.

He also pointed out that this new stage entailed the targeting of sites that are considered advanced Israeli centers.

Moreover, al-Kindi explained that the Resistance's recent operations in Iraq are a fraction of its capabilities, noting that it "chooses its targets carefully," and that the Resistance "has shown that all the targets of the occupying entity and the American and Israeli interests are within its reach."

This comes after the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed three operations, two of which were against Israeli targets "within occupied Palestine" and one against an Israeli target in the Dead Sea.
