The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced on Monday that it had launched a strike against an Israeli target in the Jordan Valley in occupied Palestine using drone aircraft.

In a statement, the Iraqi Resistance confirmed that the operation was part of its ongoing efforts to resist the occupation, in solidarity with the people of Gaza, and in response to the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation entity against Palestinian civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.

The Resistance vowed to continue operations "striking enemy strongholds with increasing intensity."

Earlier on Monday, Al Mayadeen reported that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq had targeted an Israeli military base in the Jordan Valley with drone strikes.

The latest operation comes a day after the Iraqi Resistance announced launching an unmanned aircraft attack on an Israeli asset in the occupied city of Haifa on the Mediterranean coast. 

On September 4, 2024, the Resistance also launched an unmanned attack on the Port of Haifa. 

According to the Israeli Alma research center, the attacks launched by the Iraqi Resistance on Israeli assets from November 2023 to May 2023 totaled 107 long-range attacks. 

These attacks were spread out as follows: 51% targeted southern areas in occupied Palestine, most of which are in the port city of Eilat, 41.2% in northern occupied territories, and 7.8% in central areas, such as Haifa. 

The most noteworthy of these attacks was a one-way attack drone that struck the naval port in Eilat on April 1, 2024.
