The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced on Thursday that it attacked a vital target for the Israeli occupation on the coast of the Dead Sea.

The Resistance said, in a statement, that the attack came in response to the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation against Palestinian civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq also confirmed that it would continue to "strike the enemy's strongholds."

The "Kiryat Shmona" operation was later claimed by Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades - Lebanon, who announced that its Resistance fighters targeted the settlements in north Palestine with 12 rockets in response to the ongoing Israeli massacres in Gaza.
