The Islamic Resistance in Iraq attacked an Israeli military facility in the occupied Palestinian territories, the faction announced on Monday dawn.

The Resistance carried out several drone strikes on an Israeli airbase in Umm al-Rashrah [Eilat], incurring the Israeli occupation massive damages.

The Resistance underlined that the operation was in support of the people of Gaza and in response to the massacres being committed by the Israeli occupation forces against Palestinian civilians.

The operation is "in continuation of our Resistance to the occupation," the Islamic Resistance said, adding that they would continue to bombard the Israeli occupation's military interests so long as the aggression on Gaza persists.

Attack after attack

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced Sunday that it had launched Saturday a cruise missile at the Israeli Haifa port in occupied Palestine.

The cruise missile, the Arqab, was launched from Iraqi soil towards the occupied Palestinian territories targeting the vital Haifa port, which had been attacked several times by the Resistance in light of the Israeli war on Gaza.

The Resistance announced that the operation was carried out in continuation of its alignment with the Palestinian cause, in support of the Palestinian people and Resistance, and in response to the Israeli massacres being carried out in Gaza.

This comes after the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed three operations, two of which were against Israeli targets "within occupied Palestine" and one against an Israeli target in the Dead Sea.

On Thursday evening, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced the targeting of a key location in Beer al-Sabe' using al-Aqrab advanced cruise missiles, reaffirming their commitment to opposing the Israeli occupation and defending Palestine and its people.

Essential part of the Axis of Resistance

On Friday, shortly after midnight, the Iraqi Resistance also announced their striking of a vital site in Tel Aviv, "located within our occupied Palestinian territories," as well as a vital target in the Dead Sea.

The Resistance targeted the Abraham intelligence headquarters in Beer al-Sabe' and Mossad's Glilot intelligence center in Tel Aviv, which is located approximately eight kilometers away from Kirya, where the Israeli occupation government holds its War Cabinet meetings.

Mohammad al-Moussawi, a member of the al-Nujaba Iraqi Resistance movement, emphasized on Friday that the missile strike on Tel Aviv proves once again that the Iraqi Resistance is an essential part of the Axis of Resistance.

The strikes "send a message to our people in Gaza that they are not alone in the field," al-Moussawi told Al Mayadeen, noting that they also "[constitute] a message to the United States that the Resistance will not stand idly by in the face of what is happening in Gaza."

Al-Moussawi further revealed that there is a "huge target bank" for the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, emphasizing that "they will be targeted in a way fundamentally different than anyone expects."
