The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced on Sunday that its fighters carried out an operation against a vital target in Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat], southernmost occupied Palestine, using drones. 

In a statement, the Iraqi Resistance affirmed that the operation is a continuation of its approach against the Israeli occupation and in support of the people of the Gaza Strip, and responding to the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation forces against defenseless Palestinians, including children, women, and the elderly.

It further stated its commitment to escalating operations striking Israeli strongholds. 

This comes after the Secretary-General of the al-Nujaba Movement in Iraq, Sheikh Akram Al-Kaabi, vowed to expand the scope and magnitude of military operations carried out by Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq, in a primary response by the Iraqi Resistance to the Israeli aggression targeting Yemen on Saturday. 

He affirmed that response and punishment await the Israeli occupation for its crime, carried out by the "free people of the world and the Axis of Resistance that have never and will never abandon Palestine," vowing to expand the magnitude of operations by the Resistance in Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon, that have not ceased since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
