The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has announced hitting a vital target for the Israeli occupation in Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat] using drones.

In a statement, the Islamic Resistance affirmed its continued targeting of enemy strongholds, as part of the second phase of Resistance operations against the occupation, "in support of our people in Gaza, and in response to the Zionist massacres against innocent Palestinian civilians."

This has become an almost daily operation by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.

Iraqi Resistance launches new type of drones at Eilat

Earlier on May 14, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat], in southernmost occupied Palestine, with two suicide drones.

This attack marked the first use of al-Arfad suicide drones in the operations of the Iraqi Resistance against Israeli and US forces in the region. Earlier, the Iraqi Resistance had depended on the use of its own version of the Shahed-101 drone. Al-Arfad drones resemble the Yemeni Armed Forces' Sammad line of attack drones, which have been heavily deployed against Western naval forces and the Israeli occupation.
