In the early hours of Wednesday, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced that it had carried out a drone strike targeting a "vital Israeli target" in the occupied Palestinian city of Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat].

In a brief statement, the Islamic Resistance declared that this operation was conducted in solidarity with the Gaza Strip and in response to the massacres being committed by the Israeli occupation against Palestinians, including children, women, and the elderly. The group vowed to continue striking the Israeli occupation's strongholds.

Israeli media outlets had reported, before the release of the Islamic Resistance's statement, that a drone had successfully reached its target in Eilat, evading interception. Additionally, sirens were reportedly heard in the Israeli settlement.

The Resistance had also attacked a vital target in Umm al-Rashrash on Sunday, declaring that it was in support of the people and Resistance in Gaza, as well.

Moreover, the Iraqi support front underlined that it would not only stand in solidarity with Gaza but would also support Lebanon in the case of a full-blown war in the North.

A statement released by the Iraqi Resistance explained that the group will continue to attack enemy sites, stressing that its operations are in support of the Palestinian people.

The Iraqi Resistance is comprised of a flurry of Resistance factions in the country that coordinate their military activities under the banner of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.

In the context of the continued Israeli war on the Gaza Strip and Israeli war threats against Lebanon, the leader of the Asaib Ahl al-Haq party Sheikh Qais Khazali issued a daring statement on Monday.

The Iraqi politician warned the US against aiding the Israeli occupation, saying that if "Israel" attacks Lebanon and Hezbollah, that would jeopardize American interests in Iraq and the region. 

The Iraqi Resistance had launched dozens of attacks on American sites across the region after the Israeli war on Gaza was launched. It took promises of the negotiation of withdrawal of American forces from Iraq to halt operations, which had put various bases under fire including the strategic Ain al-Assad Air Base.
