The Islamic Resistance in Iraq launched multiple operations, targeting vital Israeli sites, during a period extending from Thursday dawn to Friday dawn.
In their latest operation, Iraqi Resistance fighters launched a suicide drone toward the Israeli-occupied Haifa Port, an essential site that oversees the majority of the occupation's trade.
A statement, published by the Resistance's Military Media Unit, explained that the operation comes in line with the collective's second phase operations, which seeks to hinder the passage of goods to the Israeli regime.
Earlier on Thursday dawn, the Resistance launched a drone toward occupied Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat], the southernmost town of occupied Palestine.
Moreover, the Resistance announced, shortly after, that its fighters launched two al-Arqab cruise missiles toward vital sites near the Haifa Port. In the context of the Iraqi Resistance's continued support to the oppressed Palestinian people, fighters targeted an Israeli military site in the occupied Golan Heights, utilizing a suicide drone to do so.
Later, the Resistance launched a couple of suicide drones toward another vital Israeli site in Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat].

The Iraqi Resistance's attacks on Israeli sites have increased in frequency in the past few weeks, in concurrence with the Israeli invasion of Rafah.
In this context, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, has pointed to ongoing coordination between the Yemeni Armed Forces and Iraqi Resistance factions.
This comes as the Iraqi Resistance introduces a new set of drones to the battlefield, including a type that has been heavily deployed in Yemen. The Shahed-X or Samad drones have been seen in multiple videos released by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
Earlier on Thursday, while emphasizing that the operations of the YAF will continue to expand in the coming days, Sayyed al-Houthi said that Sanaa is "in a state of continuous development," emphasizing that "our coordination with our brothers in Iraq will have an additional contribution."
