The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced carrying out a drone strike against a vital Israeli target in occupied Umm al-Rashash [Eilat] late Tuesday as part of its ongoing operations in support of Palestine and Gaza.

Israeli media reported that air defense systems were activated in the area without mentioning if an interception was achieved.

This comes one day after the Resistance group launched a number of operations against Israeli targets in occupied Palestine in response to the ongoing massacres against the Palestinian people.

In a statement, the Iraqi Resistance mentioned that its fighters targeted the Israeli Yarden base in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights and the Israeli Yonatan base in the occupied Palestinian territories with drones.

It also said it targeted the Leviathan gas platform and an Israeli military airbase in occupied Umm al-Rashrash with drones.

Additionally, the oil port of Ashkelon and another military facility in the occupied Palestinian territories were struck by the Resistance using al-Arqab cruise missile and drones.

Finally, the statements reaffirmed that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq would continue to strike enemy strongholds, vowing that its operations would continue in alignment with the Palestinian cause, in support of the Palestinian people and Resistance, and in response to the Israeli massacres being carried out in Gaza.
